EXPERIENCE
Audio QC Technician at Eikon Group
2023 - Present
As an Audio QC Technician at Eikon Group, I specialise in all aspects of audio, ensuring the highest standards in quality control from Stereo to Atmos, providing fixes and checks, audio editing, and creating deliverables. Situated at our London office in Soho, I’ve played a key role in the crafting and ensuring of high-quality audio for numerous shows and features for Apple TV. I am entrusted with sensitive information for high profile and OTT clients, highlighting my professionalism. Dedication to my role and career is evident in my commitment to 12-hour shifts, including nights and weekends. This reflects not just my work ethic but also the depth of passion ingrained in my character to succeed and progress within the post production industry.
Freelance
2021 - Present
Working as a freelance dubbing mixer and sound editor on short films and documentaries has allowed me to develop my skills not only technically but also my ability to collaborate within diverse teams and communicate with clients. These projects have demanded a deeper understanding of industry standard softwares and tools, as well as honing skills in synchronisation to picture and overall sound creation and manipulation. I have worked on multiple other projects, both music and sound based including mixing/remixing and mastering. Simultaneously, I have operated as a live sound engineer at festivals and events where I have excelled at roles such as front of house mixing, monitor engineering, and stage technician. Emphasising teamwork and effective problem-solving, while navigating the challenges of both live and studio productions has improved my resilience during difficult and stressful situations.
