Los Angeles-based Post Production Engineer with experience audio editing, mixing, and sound designing for TV, film, podcasts, etc. I'm originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina and moved to LA 6 years ago to pursue my passion for music. When a friend offered me a job working in his post production studio a few years ago, I discovered a new love in audio editing and sound design. I'm looking to join a team of likeminded people that share my passion for audio work. My ideal work place would be a company at which I can grow, continue to develop my skills and have a positive impact through my contributions.

• Proficient in ProTools, Logic, and Izotope
• Experience in ADR, Sound Design & Foley, and Mixing
• 3+ Years Experience

I am primarily (and eagerly) looking for an opportunity in audio editing, mixing and sound design. However, I am also a skilled musician and music producer with experience writing for aspiring artists and advertising. I'm best in the pop and rock domain, but have produced a multitude of genres. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to hearing from you. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer mi perfil.
