What I'm working on at the moment
Deputy Head of Sound / Edinburgh International Festival
Biog
I'm a UK based Production Engineer, Designer and Operator, working on projects across the UK and internationally. I specialise in complex digital audio systems, computer networks and control methods. I have a good knowledge and working understanding of programming environments and am keen to push boundaries through my own software development via scripting and other methods. I am heavily experienced with Array Calc / R1 and Mapp as well as Smaart and various other design and tuning systems. I have good experience with d&b array processing as well as soundscape and have a number of shows credits using positional audio via a DME and MRX7 processors.

I have a wealth of experience at this stage and have been both a Technical Manager and HOD of various large scale festivals as well as touring productions in the UK and Abroad. I have also designed for theatre with various credits to my name both commercially and for funded theatre. I am a user of Logic and own a wealth of plugins including UAD-2, Izotope, Audio Ease Native Instruments plugins.

I have heavy experience in digital systems as well as networking and hold a comptia network plus certificate to back up my skills. I also have electronic engineering experience and can work with both through hole and SMD soldering using hot air.

I love coffee!
