I’m putting together a live event and need a lighting specialist who can take full ownership of the ambient/event-space look and feel. Your focus will be lighting design and operation only—audio and video are handled elsewhere—so I’m counting on you to turn an ordinary room into an immersive environment that supports networking, presentations, and general guest flow. You’ll collaborate with me on a creative concept, translate that into a practical lighting plot, specify fixtures, supervise load-in, program the console (GrandMA, ETC, Chamsys or similar), and run the cues during rehearsals and the show. DMX addressing, Art-Net networking, LED washes, uplighting, and colour-palette control should all be second nature to you. The venue prefers quiet fixtures and tidy cable management, so factor that into your plan. Deliverables expected: • Detailed lighting plot with fixture count, placement, and power needs • Gear list matched to venue specs and budget caps • Pre-programmed show file with clearly labelled cues • On-site setup, focus, rehearsal support, live operation, and strike • Post-event handover notes for the venue team Acceptance criteria: the room remains evenly lit without dark patches or glare, colour transitions match the run-of-show, and every cue fires on time. If you’re ready to elevate the atmosphere and can commit to being on site from load-in to strike, let’s talk.

Hello, I understand you need a skilled lighting technician to design, implement, and operate the ambient lighting for your live event, ensuring an immersive and visually appealing environment. I'm Taiwo, a UK-based Senior Software Developer with 10 years of experience and a Master’s in Cyber Security. While my background is in software development, I possess a keen eye for UI/UX design and a passion for creating impactful experiences, this translates well into lighting design, ensuring every detail is immaculately presented and aligned with your creative concept. I have worked with top companies like IBM, UK Government, BMW, and Sky in the past, and I bring a project management mindset to every engagement. My approach involves collaborating closely with you on the creative concept, developing a detailed lighting plot, specifying appropriate fixtures, supervising the setup, programming the console (I am familiar with GrandMA, ETC, and Chamsys), and managing cues during the event. I'll ensure tidy cable management and prioritize quiet fixtures, meeting the venue's preferences. Relevant projects: • IMS Team – built a project and timesheet management system that improved collaboration and workflow efficiency, demonstrating my organisational and planning abilities which will be transferrable to this project • OneKey – Built the backend system that allows users to manage their commercial units and properties security and invitations I'm ready to commit to being on-site from load-in to strike and will provide thorough handover notes
