About

I am a Grammy-credited audio engineer with 7+ years in Pro Tools across mixing, mastering, music production, and sound design. I’ve collaborated on records with A.R. Rahman, Ricky Kej, and P.A. Deepak, including Divine Tides (Stewart Copeland & Ricky Kej), winner of two Grammy Awards. I am comfortable working independently in remote, asynchronous workflows and am currently founding Rumor Music Co., a deeptech audio hardware company that gives me direct experience with AI-driven audio processing, structured audio evaluation, and the engineering questions behind modern AI audio systems.

I am passionate about how AI models hear and evaluate sound, and I enjoy shaping robust pipelines for evaluation and feedback. My work blends hands-on mixing, mastering, and sound design with a curiosity for neural denoising, on-device ML, and dataset evaluation workflows that align with practical production needs.
