The degree is in film. The career went into engineering. The two keep feeding each other, mostly through tools built for camera departments.

I have a B.A. in Film and Media from the University of California, Berkeley (2017), and I'm an FAA-certificated remote pilot.

offloader is verified media offload for camera cards: ShotPut Pro-compatible job reports, ASC MHL, and Blackmagic RAW support. It exists because the problem is real and it happens on a real set: you get footage off a card and you know, provably, that it arrived intact. Hoping the copy worked doesn't count.

Some of the camera-department work stays private. I've done research and design for an Android app meant to serve as a remote monitor for the Blackmagic PYXIS 6K, and I keep a private repository for an ongoing film project. Neither is public yet, but both come from the same instinct as offloader. A set has enough to worry about without wondering whether the gear did its job.

Outside of tools, there's a YouTube channel at youtube.com/@owenpkent.

Film school taught me to notice workflow: where people are standing, what they're waiting on, what breaks continuity. That habit carried straight into engineering, and the obvious place to use it is building tools for camera departments.
