What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead audio production and QA, work with AI-driven projects, and grow into a Lead Audio Technician position while collaborating in a growth-oriented team.

I am a technically skilled audio engineer with progressive experience in recording, mixing, mastering, and audio quality assurance. I manage end-to-end workflows from studio setup and multitrack capture to post-production editing and mastering for broadcast and streaming standards.

Throughout my career I progressed through roles as Assistant Engineer, Recording Engineer, Mixing & Mastering Engineer, and Audio Quality Technician, consistently improving session efficiency and delivering high client satisfaction.

In AI audio projects I have conducted detailed testing and annotation, contributing over 1,000 artifact-labeled samples with 98% precision to strengthen model training and recognition accuracy.

I also bring complementary skills in digital marketing, data annotation, content creation, and team collaboration, and I am dedicated to advancing toward a Lead Audio Technician role where I can further drive audio excellence.
