What I'm looking for

I’m seeking freelance or full-time roles where I can apply advanced audio restoration, mixing/mastering, and AI-driven voice processing to deliver pristine, production-ready audio while collaborating with creative teams and scaling vocal model training workflows.

I am a seasoned audio engineer, music producer, and founder of E3 Publishing Co., with over a decade of hands-on experience in audio editing, mixing, mastering, sound design, vocal tuning, and audio restoration.

I have worked with industry-leading artists and media companies, delivering industry-standard audio quality for music, podcasts, and multimedia projects while leveraging advanced techniques and AI-powered solutions.

At xAI I processed large conversational datasets for Grok voice-model training, producing publication-grade vocal stems and reducing downstream transcription errors. I also maintain an active freelance practice on Upwork and run E3 Publishing Co., contributing to projects like an Emmy-nominated documentary and film sound credits.

I prioritize clarity, fidelity, and practical collaboration with engineers, ML researchers, and clients to meet strict production and AI-training specifications, while continuously adopting modern DAWs, restoration tools, and AI-driven workflows.
