Dublin, Ireland
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCian Johnston is a Dublin-based broadcast engineer and creative videographer with ten years’ experience delivering live-broadcast systems, studio engineering and commercial video production. He currently supports RTÉ’s studios and feeds—managing cameras, vision mixers, audio routing and satellite/field links—after hands-on roles archiving decades of parliamentary footage and operating OB control rooms. Equally comfortable behind the camera and under a rack, he pairs technical troubleshooting for IP and traditional broadcast infrastructures with a strong eye for composition and storytelling developed through freelance work for brands and festivals. An award-winning screenwriter and former digital media manager, he brings narrative sensibility to technical projects and a knack for translating newsroom needs into reliable workflows. On GitHub he contributes backend code to coder/coder, adding autostart/autostop scheduling and API/db work that reflects an interest in developer tooling and automation. Practical, curious and caffeinated, he thrives where live deadlines meet creative problem solving.
