Senior Systems Engineer II Cloud Collaboration, Berkadia Services India Pvt Ltd
I am an experienced AV Technician with a strong background in installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting audiovisual systems for corporate and educational environments. Over the years, I have developed expertise in a wide range of audio and video equipment. I have worked on projects of various scales, from small conference rooms to large auditoriums, ensuring that all AV systems are integrated and optimized for peak performance.
I grew up in a family of 4 generations of photographers, and then went on to study civil engineering at IIT Delhi. My journey in AV began with The AV Workshop in 1987 as Chief AV Programmer, and then going on to setup A. V. Graphics (P) Limited in 1988.
In these 37 years, I have acquired a complete understanding of the audio-visual medium as well as technical mastery in the control and synchronisation of media devices for audio, video, lighting and projection. My expertise includes - audio-visual production; design, production and installation of Son-et-Lumière (sound & light) shows; as well as immersive experiences in museums.
This blend of both technical as well a creative skills has given me a distinct advantage in delivering AV projects to perfection.
