Hello my name is Jake Vinton. I am a Freshman at UNT in the Technical Writing class. I am in the Converged Broadcast Media program with a focus on broadcast engineering. I enjoy working on live sports events and other shows that push technology to its limits.

I have tinkered with various electronic devices from replacing batteries to fixing 3d printers and anything in between. I have designed cad files and soldered quite a bit. I take on any challenge ready to push past any obstacles.

• Richardson High School - GED - Magnet Communications Program and Technical Theatre Magnet
• University of North Texas - B.A. Converged Broadcast Media

Work as a broadcast engineer in high end sports production. My path to this may be an engineering apprenticeship with NEP, GameCreek Video, or F&F.

• Turning an old Roomba into a levitating platform for Destination Imagination.
• Building a PTZ head for a camera out of reclaimed stepper motors.
• Designing new and unique shots for live broadcasting

I am currently working on a design for a football pylon camera. The main challenge is fitting all of the equipment in a 4"x4"x18" foam football pylon.
