Hi y'all! I'm Angie and I am the Founder/CEO of KMT Technical Digital Technology Services.  We previously did live events, predominantly business (corporate variety) in addition to integrations services. We recently did a hard pivot and are now exclusively AV Consultants AND Integrators. Some of our projects include Houses of Worship, boutique Hotels, government entities and other similar venues. Me...well that's another story! I'm an Ivy League graduate, wife and mom with many interests outside of technology. I come with an off beat sense of humor, coupled with a hint of sarcasm, and a strong dedication to family and community.  Basically I'm pretty fun once you get to really me. I'm looking forward to meeting (virtually) many of you, in addition to engaging and sharing. I'm always open to discussions on collaborating!

Com mais de 59.700 horas de dedicação ao mercado de áudio e vídeo, minha jornada profissional é marcada por diversas experiências. Iniciei minha carreira como DJ em 1994 e, após mudar-me para São Paulo em 1999, trabalhei como vendedor em uma loja de CDs. Paralelamente, meu interesse pelo áudio cresceu durante meu tempo como aluno e depois monitor na escola IAV (Instituto de Áudio e Vídeo). Rapidamente, tornei-me professor, formando mais de 1000 alunos entre 2000 e 2008. Em 2008, adentrei a indústria de som, gerenciando minha própria empresa de locação e prestando serviços à Yamaha musical do Brasil. Posteriormente, juntei-me à Harman do Brasil como especialista de produtos, contribuindo para a introdução de mesas de som digitais Soundcraft no mercado e participando de projetos de sonorização de estádios para a Copa do Mundo. Minha experiência na Harman se estendeu por todo o Brasil, conhecendo diferentes realidades e necessidades dos clientes. Trabalhei com marcas líderes como JBL, AKG, dbx, BSS, Soundcraft e outras. Em 2017, iniciei uma nova jornada na Audio-Technica, expandindo meu conhecimento e rede de contatos na América Latina. Meu trabalho foi elogiado em vários países, incluindo Paraguai, Bolívia, Colômbia, Argentina e México. Em 2019, concentrei-me no desenvolvimento de habilidades comerciais na Musical Express, mas a pandemia em 2020 trouxe incertezas e encerrou minha trajetória lá. No entanto, em agosto de 2020, encontrei uma nova oportunidade na distribuidora Rhox, onde utilizei meu conhecimento de mercado e de pessoas para oferecer soluções a clientes. Em outubro de 2020, assumi o papel de gerente de produto na distribuidora WDC Networks, que distribui marcas como Shure, Yamaha, LG e Leyard. Além de áudio, minha jornada expandiu-se para a gestão de produtos de vídeo. Até hoje são mais de 5800 horas na área de gestão de produtos. Neste ano de 2024, iniciei como gerente de produtos na distribuidora SigmaOne e serei responsável pela gestão dos produtos e soluções do fabricante Biamp. Minha experiência abrange não apenas áudio e vídeo, mas também análise de dados e inteligência artificial. Sou um profissional comprometido com a qualidade, inovação e aprendizado contínuo, sempre em busca de aprimorar minhas habilidades.
