Scaling Megalomedia’s Production Infrastructure

The problem

Megalomedia grew from a boutique documentary production company into a much larger reality television production house. That growth required practical, cost-conscious infrastructure scaling across storage, backup, edit systems, office moves, vendors, and production delivery workflows.

The business was growing faster than its technical infrastructure. Production, post-production, and finishing workflows needed dependable systems without enterprise-sized budgets.

What I owned

As Technical Director, I researched, purchased, installed, maintained, and scaled infrastructure while coordinating with production, post-production, finishing houses, vendors, and executives.

How I approached it

• Built infrastructure on a shoestring budget in the company’s early growth phase.
• Researched and purchased systems that balanced cost, performance, and reliability.
• Installed and maintained storage and backup infrastructure.
• Coordinated office moves and facility changes with minimal disruption.
• Worked with production, post-production, and finishing houses to support on-time delivery.

Outcome

The infrastructure supported the company’s growth from roughly 1 hour/year of boutique documentary production to roughly 50 hours/year of reality television, while maintaining more than 1PB of active edit storage and backups.

What this shows

I am not only a coordinator. I am a hands-on technical operator who can build, maintain, and scale systems under real-world constraints.
