About

I prepare, program and operate LED screens for concerts, ceremonies, TV productions and public events. My work covers screen mapping, processor setup, signal routing, live playback and pre-show testing, then keeping the picture stable while the show runs.

I started in sound production at a family-owned company in 2016, moved into LED and video in 2020, and joined ARG Production in 2024. I've been working in live events since an early age, and I'm comfortable making real-time playback decisions under pressure.

Outside the venue I bring over 10 years of hands-on computer experience: hardware, operating systems, troubleshooting and web development. I'm studying cybersecurity at Kuwait Technical College.
