About

Hi, I’m Rittoj Thomas. I’m a results-driven senior audio engineer with 7+ years of progressive experience across FOH, monitor, system design, broadcast engineering, music production, and audio education. I have a proven track record operating large-scale PA and line array systems (DiGiCo, Midas, Avid S6L, Soundcraft, d&b, L-Acoustics) for VVIP conferences such as COP28, ADNOC Awards, international concerts, and broadcast productions across UAE, KSA, and globally.

As a dedicated tutor, I design and deliver curricula covering live sound reinforcement, studio production, and DAW workflows for 30+ students per intake, while staying current with industry practices and technologies (Dante, Waves SoundGrid, Logic Pro X). I’m known for leadership, mentoring, and educating the next generation of audio professionals.
