ZTransform, which has in recent years built out studio and office space for broadcast stations including KNKX in Seattle, has a new Senior Design Engineer.
Joining the Seattle-based firm is André Ferrer.
At ZTransform, Ferrer will “bring his systems expertise to every phase of a project, from initial consultation to final acceptance to ensure the commercial, operational and creative aspects of a client’s vision are realized.”
He reports to founder and President Erik Utter, who says Ferrer has been instrumental to the success “of some really high-profile facilities throughout his career and his collaborative approach to projects merits a huge amount of respect from stakeholders at every level.”
Indeed, Ferrer has led engineering teams on projects for CNN, Amazon, Facebook/Meta, Time Warner Cable, Seattle Mariners, Carolina Hurricanes, NFL Network, and Microsoft Studios.
“Working with a team that values collaboration and innovation is so important, especially in a space where there is no clear cut one-size fits all,” Ferrer said. “ZTransform delivers truly tailored solutions that come from diverse perspectives and open communication – what’s more, they recognize and respect each individual within a project team, creating a true sense of allegiance between employees – as well as with its clients.”
Ferrer recently held senior positions at NEP Integrated Solutions, Diversified Systems Group and Venue Services Group.He started his career as a monitor engineer at Capitol Records after majoring in Commercial Music (Recording Engineering) at Memphis State University, going on to design, documentation, and commissioning of AV systems ranging from corporate conference rooms to full broadcast facilities at Doyle Technology Consultants.
A move to Full House / Basketball Club of Seattle saw him responsible for in-house engineering during home games for the Seattle Supersonics and Seattle Storm.
