Grant Furgiuele is an associate director of broadcast engineering with 12 years of hands-on experience blending audio artistry and systems engineering across higher education and theatre. He runs St. Olaf’s broadcast plant—managing studios, Cisco networks, AWS/Fastly streaming, Dante AOIP, Ross and Evertz gear—while also acting as primary sound engineer and post-production mixer for concerts and radio. Trained as a computer engineer and experienced in embedded C, PHP, and web stacks, he has built CMS and streaming tooling, maintained Linux and Node.js services, and contributed to the popular Yii2 PHP framework. His freelance sound-design work in Boston has earned multiple regional award nominations, reflecting a rare dual fluency in technical infrastructure and creative live production. Currently completing an MM in Music Technology at NYU, he combines academic pursuit with practical leadership in media tech operations. Not obvious at first glance: he’s comfortable switching between low-level embedded debugging and high-stakes live mixing with equal confidence.
