About
I’m an audio engineer, sound designer, and composer with 20+ years of experience across film, music, and live touring. I’ve handled session prep and foley for feature films, contributed music to releases that reached big-screen audiences, and produced polished spoken-word audio for podcasts and audiobooks.
These days, I combine a trained critical ear with structured evaluation skills as an AI trainer and audio domain expert, writing and assessing expert prompts across acoustics, signal processing, and studio workflows. I’m Avid Pro Tools certified, and I also bring extensive hands-on studio and live performance experience—from setting up recording spaces to mixing backing tracks night after night.
