𝟮𝟬+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁. 𝟮+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵. I'm a hybrid producer/developer who spent two decades inside live broadcast workflows -- ESPN+, multi-camera live events, corporate video, drone work -- and now builds the AI tools and full-stack platforms that those industries actually need. If your project sits at the intersection of LLMs, AI, modern web infrastructure, video production or live streaming, I'm the right person to call. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗢 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎬 Live Streaming & Video Production Multi-camera live event production, vMix expert (switching, NDI, virtual sets, replay), drone cinematography (FAA Part 107). Full pipeline from pre-production through on-site direction, encoding, and delivery to RTMP/SRT/WebRTC endpoints. Sports, conferences, concerts, performing arts. 🤖 Generative AI Development Production LLM systems using Claude, GPT-4/5, and open-source models. RAG pipelines, AI agents, MCP servers, custom copilots, and AI-augmented internal tools. I build things that actually run in production; not demos or notebooks. 💻 Full-Stack & Web3 Development Next.js, TypeScript, React, Python, Node.js. Solidity smart contracts on Base/EVM, USDC payment rails, wallet auth, on-chain monetization. Currently running Circuit (gocircuit.tv), a live streaming + creator monetization platform I built solo. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛠️ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗜 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▸ Production: vMix, NDI, OBS, ATEM, Ant Media, WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, HLS ▸ AI/LLM: Anthropic Claude (incl. Claude Code, Skills, MCP), OpenAI, Gemini, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, local models (Ollama, LM Studio) ▸ RAG: Pinecone, Supabase pgvector, ChromaDB, embedding pipelines, evals ▸ Web/App: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Electron, FastAPI ▸ Web3: Solidity, Base/EVM, ethers.js, wagmi, smart contract design ▸ Infra: Vercel, DigitalOcean, AWS, Supabase, Docker, nginx ▸ AI Dev Workflow: Cursor, Claude Code, custom prompt engineering, structured outputs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▸ Circuit (gocircuit.tv): Solo-built live streaming + creator monetization platform on Base. Next.js, Ant Media, Solidity payment splitter contracts, USDC settlement, embedded Coinbase offramp. ▸ AI Productivity Engineering at OS Studios: AI integration strategies for broadcast workflows, including a Run of Show natural-language generation prototype. ▸ Conjure: Electron desktop app pairing Monaco editor + Claude for AI-assisted vMix script generation. SQLite library, prompt-tuned for broadcast automation. ▸ vMix MCP Server: Custom Model Context Protocol server giving Claude tool-level access to vMix presets for natural-language broadcast configuration. ▸ Live Production: ESPN+ broadcasts, multi-camera live events, Colorado Springs Philharmonic, conferences, sports, concerts. ▸ Confluence: Trading intelligence platform combining Pine Script signals with Node.js enrichment and RAG-based pattern recognition. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Discovery first. I want to understand the actual problem before quoting. Most projects benefit from being scoped smaller and shipped sooner. Working prototype within the first week. Not a slide deck, not a Gantt chart. Something running. Iterate against real conditions. Whether it's a live show or an LLM eval, the work has to survive contact with reality. Ship to production. Deployed, monitored, documented, handed off. Honest scope. If your idea needs a different approach, I'll tell you. If it's outside my lane, I'll tell you that too. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏆 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗦 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✓ AI Productivity Engineer at OS Studios ✓ Owner, Steve Weed Media - 20+ years broadcast production ✓ FAA Part 107 certified (drone operations) ✓ vMix expert · multi-camera live events · ESPN+ broadcast experience ✓ SVG College Media Award · SBA Region VIII Innovation & Excellence Award ✓ Active Web3 builder — Circuit on Base/EVM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If your project lives in the seam between media, AI, and modern web — that's exactly where I work best. Send me the rough version of what you're trying to build and I'll come back with a scoped plan and an honest take on whether I'm the right fit.
