What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on immersive sound, post-production, and interactive audio where I can apply technical expertise, collaborate with creative teams, and deliver broadcast-quality work.

I am an audio designer and engineer with hands-on experience in post-production, sound design, and music composition for media and interactive projects. I have contributed to cinematic capsules, feature films, and research-driven audiovisual work, delivering mixes and assets that meet broadcast specifications.

My technical practice spans Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Dolby Atmos, Wwise, and mastering workflows, and I hold Pro Tools Specialist and Dante Level 3 certifications. I have executed final media preparation, loudness compliance, and archival distribution for episodic audio deliverables.

I have worked in studio and field settings creating foley, environmental recording, dialogue editing, and platform-specific content for social campaigns. I also develop interactive musical experiences as part of academic and professional projects.

I organize and lead audio-focused events and workshops, and I approach projects with a collaborative, detail-oriented mindset that values clear delivery, technical accuracy, and creative impact.
