About

With over 15 years of professional studio experience, I’ve shaped the sonic identity of campaigns for Nike, Adidas, KPN, Booking.com, Albert Heijn and Philips.

My backgrounds span sound design, audio engineering, recording voice overs, music production, Foley, and mixing podcasts combined with a growing specialization in AI training, data annotation, and QA for next-generation ML systems. I operate at the intersection of audio craft and applied artificial intelligence.
