I am a Mastering Engineer based in NYC.
Started my career as a production member at the Looking Glass Studios for Philip Glass.

Started to master records around 2005 along with recording and mixing engineering career, and fell in love with the process of mastering as I proceeded further. I slowly shifted my career to a Mastering Engineer and work for artists like Masa Takumi, Hideki Saijo, Brian Watters, Alanna & These Fine Gentlemen, Lauren Sanderson, Hysteric Panic.
