About

I am an audio engineer with solid experience in recording and mixing, sound design, training in audio and music production, based in Porto, Portugal. I have hands-on experience in recording, mixing, multitrack editing, sound design, studio operations, session planning, and collaboration with artists and producers. I work confidently with Pro Tools, Nuendo, and Cubase, and I enjoy combining technical precision with creative problem-solving to help bring musical projects to life.

Alongside my audio work, I coordinate academic programs and teach studio engineering and Pro Tools certification courses. My background in nutrition, lecturing, quality control, team leadership, and operational management has strengthened my communication, organization, and mentoring skills. I am friendly, adaptable, and committed to creating effective learning environments and professional studio workflows.
