As a freelance audio engineer and producer at Independent, I handle recording, vocal mixing, and mastering for independent releases, including S.ÖZ and Antibiyotik. I focus on surgical EQ frequency separation and intelligibility, and also work on dialogue editing and timing synchronization.

On StudioZIO, my independent audio software development project, I develop C++/JUCE plugins from DSP implementation and plugin architecture through validation and macOS release engineering.
