Summary
Jason Chua is an analyst specializing in broadcast workflows who blends nine years of hands-on newsroom engineering with formal training in computer science and journalism. Based in Portland, he has moved from building award-recognized campus platforms and algorithm research to deploying resilient broadcast systems—Dockerized remote management, SIP/AIOP intercom integration, and Ansible-driven vulnerability remediation across 500+ systems. He pairs newsroom instincts (Avid iNews, Premiere) with practical dev skills (C++, Arduino, Docker, PowerBI) to streamline live production and disaster recovery. At KGW-TV he automated air-play routines and documented embedded wireless camera code, and now applies that same operational rigor at TEGNA/Nexstar. Colleagues describe him as curious and resourceful—equally comfortable scripting infrastructure as pitching day-of-air stories—reflected by a GitHub bio that cheekily labels him “Certified spaghetti,” hinting at playfully pragmatic engineering.
