I am currently leading a groundbreaking initiative as the Associate Director of Post Production at Electronic Arts (EA), where I have been instrumental in creating and directing the post-production department within EA Esports. One of my key achievements at EA has been the development of a cutting-edge media asset management database, utilizing advanced cloud-based compute tools and storage solutions. This initiative optimized file retrieval speed by 40% and reduced storage costs by 25%, showcasing my ability to leverage technology to drive efficiency and cost savings.

As the Director of Post Production at Conde Nast Entertainment I successfully launched a video services department tailored for brands, enhancing revenue and expanding our project volume by 60% through strategic project management and the integration of advanced technologies. My experiences not only honed my skills in supervising the day-to-day creation of video campaigns for clients but also managing the technology that runs behind the scenes. Working collaboratively with technology leads, I have spearheaded projects ranging from asset archiving systems to legal and clearance workflows. My tenure at Conde Nast shows my ability to drive project success and efficiency through expanded contractor networks.
