I’m a musician, producer, and editor with 20+ years in professional audio. I cut, clean, and mix dialogue in Pro Tools and RX, and edit video in Premiere and Resolve. Recent work: lead audio editor/mixer on the Mortal Mysteries podcast. I’ve produced broadcast and web pieces for MTV, BBC, Comedy Central, Siemens, and Fatboy Slim, with 25+ million views on YouTube.com. Currently developing a 4K lip-sync project in Colab (Python) with dataset automation, VQGAN training, and model evaluation. I also restore vintage tape machines, mixers, synths, and electric pianos—the lowest common denominator: problem solving, precision, and results.
