For the past several months I've been handling petabytes of data on at the National Geographic Channel. I worked with editors and producers to ensure a seamless media workflow, and kept deliveries to our digital distribution partners on-time. Before NatGeo I was at The Washington Post, where I was in numerous roles as a technical director, editor, web producer, and videographer. From running video walls to wrangling robotic cameras, from patching in NASA astronauts from space to directing shows - we were a lean and mean crew. I worked extensively on their web team to engage audiences across platforms, striking the right mix of social media while tweaking my headlines for SEO for maximum exposure of our content. Several years at American University were the basis of my production experience, as I led a team of 12 production assistants to produce content for the school. If you're looking for someone with versatility and is a creative problem solver, then I'm your guy.

Hi there! I am a young French and Colombian documentarian currently based in Washington DC with the will to keep moving.
