bio: |
I'm a two-and-a-half decade long working member of the live-event entertainment industry,
including being an participant (pre-2000s) Colorado's rave and nightlife industry. I get to do
some pretty cool things like:
- host people's websites,
- build web applications to make venues more efficient,
- assemble and play with big-ass sound systems,
- develop software for controlling theatrical controls (lights, lasers, video, ..),
- design and build crazy light and video stage shows,
- repair DJ and performance related electronics (like CDJs and mixers),
- and follow around perfomers to fix any crazy problems that prevent them from entertaining
people.
I make shit happen. |
