What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow as an Audio-AI Research Engineer, building deep-learning sound sensing and privacy-preserving audio systems, collaborating with researchers, and iterating POCs with real user feedback.

I’m an Audio ML researcher and engineer working on machine listening, DSP, real-time audio, privacy-preserving audio, and music technology. My work combines deep learning, audio signal processing, and audio-language models, with research spanning sound event detection, voice activity detection, acoustic robustness, edge deployment, and tools for musicians.

Currently, I’m an ML/DSP Engineer at Edge Audio Labs, where I work on applied machine learning and signal processing for real-time audio products, including neural audio rendering, detection, measurement, and perceptual evaluation. I also continue collaborating with the University of Surrey on research in robust machine listening and privacy-preserving audio. Previously, I spent three years there as a Research Engineer in Sound Sensing, developing and evaluating end-to-end audio ML systems, datasets, privacy-preserving pipelines, and embedded prototypes, with publications and presentations across IEEE, AES, CHiME, Inter-Noise, and SMC venues.
