About

Sound Designer and Audio Editor with 4+ years of experience in audio post-production, dialogue editing, and sound design. I specialize in creating immersive diegetic and non-diegetic soundscapes, performing detailed foley direction, and delivering high-quality mixes for Stereo, 5.1, and 7.1 surround.

I also manage end-to-end audio workflows for localization and dubbing across streaming and international distribution networks, including dialogue cleaning, voice-over editing, and audio restoration. As a freelancer, I collaborate closely to deliver technically precise, creative audio results across film, series, and other audiovisual content.

This project combines organic textures and custom Foley (paper cutting and mechanical movements) with heavy firearm recordings. To achieve that futuristic, aggressive sci-fi edge, I processed the audio using a chain of advanced plugins—including saturation and vocoding—layered with custom synth elements in Serum. The final result is meticulously mixed and synchronized to picture for maximum impact, weight, and realism.
