Jacob Paige
San Jose,CA
Summary
I'm an audio technician with hands on experience in live sound, event production, and studio environments. I've worked live events setting up and operating sound systems, managing signal flow, patching, and mixing on both analog and digital consoles. I'm experienced in supporting fast paced productions and ensuring equipment is set up safely and efficiently.
I also hold a Certificate in Audio Recording from the University of Silicon Valley, where I gained practical training in recording, mixing, and studio workflows. Currently, I work at a studio running client sessions, which has strengthened my skills in session management, audio routing, and working under pressure.
My background in security has also given me a strong sense of situational awareness, equipment protection, and the ability to stay calm and focused during high-demand events.
I'm comfortable working with AV setups, troubleshooting technical issues on the fly, and supporting teams to deliver smooth, professional productions.
