I’m an audio engineer and mastering specialist with 25+ years in the music industry. I help artists, producers, and brands deliver release-ready audio that translates across streaming platforms and real-world playback — clean, punchy, and musical. My work is outcome-first: clarity, depth, controlled low-end, smooth top-end, and competitive loudness without crushing the dynamics. I’m detail-obsessed about translation (earbuds, cars, club systems) and QC (distortion, harshness, clicks, and limiter artefacts). Services I offer: Mastering (stereo masters, streaming-ready delivery, revisions) Mixing (balance, tone, dynamics, stereo depth, vocal placement) Production support (fixes, enhancements, arrangement polish) Background: I’m also a classically trained pianist and producer, which helps when projects need musical judgement — but my core focus is engineering and final delivery. If you want your track to sound finished — not just louder — send me your mix and a reference or two.

I’m an audio engineer, music producer, and composer with a Bachelor’s degree in Music and a strong foundation in both technical and musical decision-making. I approach every project from a creative and analytical perspective, adapting my workflow to the genre, artistic vision, and final purpose of the work rather than relying on fixed formulas. My work spans music production, composition, arrangement, scoring, and audio post-production, including editing, restoration, dialogue enhancement, and sound refinement for music, podcasts, audiobooks, and audiovisual content. I also work with AI tools for voice creation and dialogue generation when appropriate, integrating them carefully into professional workflows. I mix and master in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and Studio One, and I tailor technical delivery formats to each client’s needs. My background in music theory, transcription, and orchestration helps me achieve clearer balances, stronger impact, and mixes that translate well across listening systems. I’m focused on building long-term collaborations, I’m fully available, and I’m always open to starting with a test track to ensure we’re aligned before moving forward.
