Biography

Gama Hernandez is a Digital Media Specialist at Chapman University, specializing in site architecture, content management, and workflow automation for intranet platforms that support faculty, staff, and students. He focuses on improving collaboration, streamlining communication, and ensuring institutional resources are easily accessible.

Gama’s background is in digital media production and post-production across television, film, web, and radio. He graduated in 2008 from California State University, Dominguez Hills with a B.A. in Digital Media Arts (Audio Recording and Digital Graphics). As a student contractor at NASA/JPL’s Television Operations Office in Pasadena, he bridged technical expertise with creative storytelling to support the space and science communities through education, television, and film.

Since then, his work has spanned creative and technical roles: audio recording, mixing, cleanup, and restoration for voice-over, interviews, and music; live sound; ADR; motion graphics and compositing; digital asset management; and web/graphic design. He also supports A/V and production environments, including control room and presentation systems (Crestron and Barco), analog/digital audio integration (stereo to 7.1 surround), studio and conference recording installations, and legacy tape digitization (U-matic, BetaSP, DVCPro/DVCam, DigiBeta, D5), including stereo-to-5.1 conversions.

Gama is completing an M.S. in Digital Media Management at USC Annenberg (Aug 2022–May 2026). His simple approach to learning—be a sponge—has opened doors and helped him bridge people, platforms, and production workflows to deliver work that is creative and dependable.
