About dkh

Engineer with a filmmaking background (at times, the other way around). Roughly a decade working in the film/video/streaming space, mostly as an engineer on the tech side, but with some big stretches on the content side. Helped build a few streaming video platforms. Worked camera department and post-production for a few shows.
