I am a professional sound and lighting engineer with over 12 years of experience in live shows (concerts, festivals, theater) and private events (weddings, corporate events). I’ve worked on hundreds of shows, for up to 5 000 audience members, and have designed lights for many stage plays. Recently relocated to Helsinki, I am seeking opportunities to bring my expertise in venue integration, sound reinforcement, and lighting design to local productions. I thrive at the intersection of technology and talent, delivering reliable, high-quality production from load-in to strike and turning rider requirements into tailored, on-brand setups.
