I’m Keshav Deb, a Masters-level Audio Engineer with over eight years of hands-on studio experience spanning music production, recording and post-production. I earned a BSc in Music Technology (First Class Honours) and an MSc in Audio Engineering (Distinction) from the University of Hertfordshire, and I’ve worked extensively on engineering-recording, mixing and mastering projects for both established and emerging artists. I’ve set up and run professional studio sessions, managed patching, routing, gain staging and mic techniques, and delivered high-quality stereo and 5.1 surround mixes using industry-standard consoles and DAWs. My ADR editing and audio restoration work with iZotope RX, plus preparing mix-ready sessions and final exports to professional standards, are all part of my toolkit. In parallel, I’m currently a Cloud Solutions Developer at Capgemini, which has sharpened my organization, documentation and ability to manage structured deliverables under tight deadlines. I enjoy leading workshops and communicating complex technical processes clearly, a skill I value highly in collaborative studio environments. I’m detail-oriented and calm under pressure, ensuring consistent technical standards and well-organised session files across every project. I’m now seeking a freelance studio role to combine technical depth with hands-on learning and collaboration toward excellence in sound.
