I’m an Audio Engineer and Sound Designer focused on creating clear, immersive, and emotionally grounded audio for games, podcasts, audiobooks, and digital media. My work spans sound design, music composition, editing, mixing, and post-production, with a strong emphasis on technical precision and creative storytelling. Before transitioning fully into audio, I spent several years in technical QA and production environments, collaborating closely with developers, producers, and cross-disciplinary teams. That background sharpened my attention to detail, version control discipline, and ability to deliver clean, reliable assets under real production constraints. I’m actively pursuing opportunities in audio engineering, sound design, podcast/audiobook editing, game audio, and audiovisual production, whether it's freelance, contract, or full-time. Audiobook Credits: I have worked on over 15 different audiobooks for independent audiobook freelance work; 5 being edits, 9 being QC projects, and I have also worked in studio to work on engineering a project, recording the voiceover while following the script of a full audiobook. All work listed here was done with RVM Sounds.
