Audio engineer and AI trainer specializing in restoration, critical listening, and product experience.
FranceWhat I'm looking for
I am an Abbey Road Institute-trained audio engineer and AI trainer with over four years of specialist experience in audio engineering and sound for visual media. I freelance as a recording, mixing and mastering engineer—primarily for classical, opera and jazz—and work as a Product Experience Specialist at Meta, where I apply critical listening, diagnostics and clear documentation to improve audio quality and user demos.
I excel at detecting subtle artifacts and executing restoration workflows (spectral edits, noise reduction, de-click/de-clip, EQ) and I configure and optimize complete audio chains including SSL analogue consoles, Avid S6, Dante/MADI networks and Pro Tools/FL Studio. I am motivated to contribute to AI audio quality and training, and I bring practical product demo experience, troubleshooting discipline and strong written English for documentation and peer review.
