Project manager's reference
What scope can Todd own on your project?
I am a technical specialist you can plug into projects where you need experienced hands on specific systems. I take ownership of my scope, provide system design and delivery specifications, and document the work clearly enough for the rest of the team to operate from it. I work to reduce surprises, prevent drift, and keep technical scope from becoming management drag.
Scope
Scope I can own completely
Media Server Systems
- Architecture, deployment, programming, and operation
- Show files, timelines, and content systems
- Large multi-machine setup, failover, and redundancy
- Content ingest, formatting, and layer management
- Multi-user and multi-environment integration
- Show programming from concept through rehearsal, staging, and event completion
System Design & Documentation
- Signal flow, equipment lists, and infrastructure documentation
- Workflow and documentation standardization where needed
- System diagrams, cable schedules, and rack layouts to your standards
- Equipment specification and BOM development
- On-site consulting and advisement
Video Engineering
- Broadcast and streaming workflows with bidirectional pipelines and metadata
- IMAG integration with media servers and switching
- Signal routing across ST 2110, NDI, SRT, SDI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and conversion layers
- Color management including grading, LUT, and 3D LUT design
- LED wall processor setup, mapping, and calibration
- Projection alignment, blending, mapping, and photometric analysis
Network & IP Video
- Fabric design, network architecture, security, and zero-trust thinking
- ST 2110 and NDI commissioning, deployment support, and troubleshooting
- AV-over-IP setup and integration with existing infrastructure
Streaming & Digital
- Live streaming setup, encoding, CDN, and platform delivery
- Remote and hybrid event technical systems
- Recording and archival workflows
How I work
Working with a PM
- Scope ownership — you hand me a piece and I own it fully.
- Clear reporting line — I keep the PM informed directly and clearly.
- Your standards, your way — I adopt your documentation and workflow conventions.
- Proactive communication — risks and status changes are flagged early.
- Simplicity first — I use proven methods unless complexity is required.
- Self-directed execution once scope is clear
- Clean handoff — documented, labeled, operable systems at the end.
- Flexible scheduling for project-based blocks and support windows
Boundaries
What I don't do
- I do not try to change your methods
- I do not add complexity that is not needed
- I do not expand scope without sign-off
- I do not create political overhead
Best fit
Best fit projects
- Complex multi-screen media server shows
- Events with ST 2110 or NDI environments
- Large-scale LED or projection systems
- Projects spanning network, video, content, control, data, and communications
- Situations where proven depth is needed without adding permanent headcount
