Audio Engineer specializing in session sync and real-time audio capture for music performances, with extensive experience working in fast-paced creative environments. I focus on delivering clean, balanced, production-ready recordings where timing, clarity, and performance energy are preserved without compromise. As a singer/songwriter, working music artist, and intermediate guitarist, I bring a strong musical foundation that informs both my technical engineering decisions and my communication with artists. I’ve worked primarily with independent musicians, hip-hop and rap artists, and live performance teams across studio sessions, multi-track recordings, and live recording setups. My strongest creative background is in writing and recording hooks for hip-hop and rap artists, helping shape memorable toplines and melodic ideas that elevate tracks and connect with listeners. I’m comfortable moving between creative development and technical execution, depending on what the session needs. What sets me apart is my ability to blend engineering precision with songwriting instincts. I understand how a track is built from both a technical and creative perspective, allowing me to anticipate performance needs, support artists in real time, and ensure the final recording is both sonically clean and musically compelling. *Employment and Project Experience* Recording Studio Internship | Rittenhouse Soundworks | Philadelphia, PA June 2025 - Dec. 2025 M.M. in Music Technology - Performance Technology | Southern Utah University (Online) Aug. 2023 - Dec. 2025 AVID Certified ProTools Specialist Dec. 2024
