Fault diagnosis & repair
Finding the cause of complex on-site faults and working towards lasting resolutions.
Hello, I'm Harry
HarryCollins
AV engineer & live events professional
I bring together professional AV engineering, live production and creative technology—building systems and experiences that work reliably when people need them most.
About
Engineering with a human focus.
I work in professional audio visual, supporting collaboration spaces and integrated systems across the UK. My day-to-day work combines structured fault-finding with a practical understanding of how people actually use technology.
Alongside that work, I'm Technical Director for LAX Events and Shoot Me Photobooths. Live events have been a major part of my career since 2018, spanning sound engineering, production planning and hands-on technical delivery.
Outside paid work, I'm involved at Emmanuel Church Woodley, supporting its audio and visual engineering and serving as a member of the Parochial Church Council (PCC). I'm most at home where engineering, creativity and people meet.
