Sound technician with expertise in audio production and repair.
ItalyWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated sound technician with extensive experience in audio production and repair. Currently, I work at Artis Project, where I specialize in creating audio descriptions for television programs and films aimed at visually impaired audiences. My work involves direct recordings of voiceovers and mixing audio descriptions for clients such as Rai, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.
Previously, I operated as an independent electronics repair technician in Brighton, UK, where I honed my skills in repairing specialized audio equipment and managing my own business. My journey in sound technology began at Croydon College, where I maintained audio equipment and managed budgets, further solidifying my expertise in the field.
With a Master’s degree in Music and Sonic Media from the University of Sussex, I have a strong academic foundation that complements my practical experience. I am passionate about sound and music, and I continuously seek opportunities to grow and contribute to innovative projects in the audio industry.
