Scoring engines, show control and realtime graphics for gameshows, sport and live entertainment — built to hold up when there is no second take.
01 — Why a consultant, not an agency
No account managers, no hand-offs. Decisions get made in one conversation, and changes land the same day — often while we're still on the call.
Twenty years of gameshow scoring, show control and broadcast graphics that have to be right the first time, every taping, with the studio clock running.
Many project require more than just one multi-skilled engineer/architect. I can integrate with the other experts you already have, or bring my own, to help you fill the gaps. There is no "normal".
Modern AI tooling means I ship more, faster and cheaper than ever. It also means anyone can vibe-code a demo. The difference on show day is the guiding hand: twenty years of knowing exactly what fails under studio conditions — because you shouldn't trust your show to code nobody fully understands.
02 — Capabilities
Scoring engines, contestant interaction, format development tools and realtime graphics. Designed for the realities of live or recorded productions. Jump back and do it again? Pick up in the middle of the show? No guesswork required!
A custom-built video pipeline to suit your unique needs, without cobbling togther multiple systems with complicate licensing models.
Lighting, sound, video, GPI and data acting as one system — so a single operator can drive every twist of the show with no opportunity for error.
Not my core offering, but a call away: display technology, broadcast hardware and the trusted specialists who deliver and operate it.
03 — Ways of working
Producer, agency, brand or fellow solutions supplier: unlike an agency, a full-service shop or a general software developer, I can fill as many of these boxes as you want — or as few. Here are some of the shapes real deals take.
