My work ranges from integrated rooms and acoustic coordination to C++ audio tools and private AI workflows. In each project, I make the system, its constraints and its outputs clear.

Making system behaviour visible

Four-band computed response study. A build-time calculation, separate from the six-band plugin above.

Frequency response of a four-band parametric equaliser, computed from RBJ Cookbook peaking biquad filters: 80 Hz +3.5 dB Q 0.9, 450 Hz -4.5 dB Q 1.4, 2.4 kHz +5 dB Q 1.1, 9.5 kHz -3 dB Q 0.8.

Practice

One method across
different systems

I work with rooms, signal paths, data models and automation. The medium changes. I start by understanding the structure and its constraints, then build a result that can be checked.

About

I am based in London. My background includes AV systems design, acoustic consultancy and an MSc in Audio & Music Technology from the University of York, including spatial-audio research with Sony Interactive Entertainment.
