I like to consider myself as a Digital Audio Citizen that walks the frontier between IT-Related work (Information Technology) and audio/cultural-related work. I am currently an IT technical support (level 1), a technical trainer, a stage technician, an audio engineer, a sound designer as well as a musician. I create music and sound effects for audio-visual, multimedia, radio and theatre. I enjoy working in a team as much as working by myself. I am autonomous, curious, and quietly determined.
