I'm a composer, producer, and audio engineer trained at Berklee College of Music (Music Production & Engineering + Contemporary Writing & Production, minor in Film & Media Scoring). I specialize in turning a story, lyric, or concept into a full instrumental arrangement — building chord progressions and production from the ground up rather than working off someone else's chart. My scoring work for short films has trained me to write music that serves a narrative arc first, whether that means stripped-down acoustic tension or a full-band emotional payoff. On the engineering side, I've mixed and mastered released tracks for independent artists and worked studio sessions on API, AMS Neve, and SSL consoles, so I can take a project from a rough arrangement idea all the way to a release-ready mix. I work fluently across rock, folk/Americana, and cinematic styles, and I have a fully equipped home studio (Pro Tools, Focusrite interface, studio monitors, reference headphones) for smooth, fully remote and asynchronous collaboration. I'm easy to work with on creative changes and revisions — my goal is always to serve the song, not just execute a brief.
