Live shows, real-time integrations, and the tools and infrastructure that hold them together.
Around eight Twitch-streamed concerts that dropped local DJs inside a real-time virtual world, with the chat able to spawn dancing avatars and set off fireworks live inside the show.

An R&D build bringing Move.ai's markerless motion capture into disguise D3, so a live performer could drive a real-time Unreal character on stage. Shown at NAB.

Live TouchDesigner visuals for clubs and festival stages, run next to the lighting team and reacting to the room in the moment. Most notably for Netsky.

A full-stack media asset manager for post teams: it scans local and network storage, builds proxies for fast browser playback, and runs transcription, tagging and semantic search entirely on-prem, no cloud uploads.

I'm a creative technologist and systems specialist working in post-production and broadcast, based in Sydney. The work splits in two: building real-time, interactive pieces, and looking after the infrastructure that keeps them and the wider pipeline running.
A lot of the real-time work started at disguise in Auckland, New Zealand, working across XR and LED display technology for live events and broadcast. The projects here come out of that: live visuals and integrations built in Unreal, TouchDesigner and disguise D3.
Now at ARC I work closer to the pipeline itself, supporting Avid and Flame, NAS and storage, and setting up edit suites for long- and short-form work, with a current focus on AI research and development for post-production. I hold a Bachelor of Creative Technology from Auckland University of Technology.
A run of around eight live-streamed concerts built to put up-and-coming local DJs in front of a Twitch audience. Each artist was placed inside a real-time virtual world driven through disguise D3 and Unreal Engine, with the visuals reacting live. Twitch was wired straight into the show: chat could spawn a dancing animal avatar with chat bubbles to interact with the DJ, set off fireworks, and trigger other moments inside the virtual world, turning the stream from something you watch into something the audience plays with.

An R&D collaboration bringing Move.ai's live markerless motion capture into disguise D3, so a performer could drive a real-time Unreal character on stage. I worked on the R&D and the D3 integration alongside disguise's programmers on Linux systems, and built the Unreal side through custom Blueprints inside D3. It was shown at NAB.
On site
Real-time visuals for clubs and concerts, built mostly in TouchDesigner and run live alongside the lighting team and the DJs. The work ran from club nights through to large festival stages, the most notable being Netsky, reacting to the music and the room in the moment.

I designed and built ARChitect as a full-stack MAM system for post-production teams who need powerful cataloguing and AI tools without cloud uploads. The platform scans local and network storage, generates H.264 proxies for fast browser playback, and runs background jobs for transcription (Whisper), object tagging, and semantic search (pgvector). Users can keyword- or semantically search footage, inspect assets in a rich browser UI, organize collections, manage tasks, and build rough cuts in a timeline editor with export to standard NLE formats (EDL, ALE, FCPXML). Auth supports local login, LDAP/Active Directory, and role-based access (admin/editor/viewer). The stack is TypeScript end-to-end: a React frontend, an Express API, PostgreSQL with a Redis job queue, and FFmpeg workers, architected to run on a single Mac mini with room to scale workers later.
