About

Audio post professional and multi-instrumentalist specializing in narrative sound design and music editing for film and YouTube-style retention. Won Best Sound Design and Best Original Music for the minimalist black-and-white short film "El Cuerpo Disperso," where they rebuilt the entire soundtrack via custom foley and ADR and used high-contrast texture shifts and intentional silence to drive pacing and psychology.

Key Strengths

• Award-winning sound design and original music (Best Sound Design, Best Original Music for 12-min auteur short film)
• End-to-end sonic reconstruction under poor production audio conditions (full foley + ADR rebuild)
• Narrative-driven music/sound editing to control pacing and emotional beats (texture-based builds/drops, intentional silence)
• High-efficiency Pro Tools template and routing architecture enabling fast stem/export deliverables
• Data-informed YouTube retention optimization (adjusts BPM, frequency density, risers, silence based on analytics and notes)
• Mix consistency discipline using calibrated workflow, metering (loudness/VU/crest factor), and fatigue management
