Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEwan Roycroft is an R&D engineer with eight years’ experience building web and media technologies for public service broadcasting at the BBC. He blends hands-on software engineering with research into future TV platforms, working on browser graphics, video decoders, and user trialling while also stepping into live technical roles as a sound and control-room operator. Comfortable across web stacks, A/V systems and single-board computers, he brings practical electronics and software experience from an earlier R&D placement at Ruark Audio. Based in London, he pairs a Music Technology degree with a practical instinct for putting research into production-quality broadcast systems. Notably, he switches between lab research and frontline broadcast shifts, giving him rare visibility into both experimental platforms and real-world operational constraints.
