As a Show Systems Technician I worked a first shift operational role supporting rides and park wide BGM. With this being a operational role I provided quick troubleshooting skills to bring rides back online. This role required, at times, creative solutions to keep a venue running till the issue could be corrected by 3rd shift. During my time in this Role I worked on Alcorn McBride equipment, Qsys Systems, Christie Projectors, 7th Sense Servers, Peavey Nion's, Axis security cameras, Ocularus security system and Cisco Network Switches along with other peripherals to assist in delivering show elements. During my time there I also worked on several projects including:- Several Audio restoration projects throughout the park for BGM- Manufactured a new bracket for a ride vehicle subwoofer and wrote SOP for future techs- Rewired a coaster vehicle that returned from annual PM- Programmed an audio push button experience for children's play area to modern equipment- Upgraded Safety video's to modern media
