Sound Designer & Infrastructure Engineer

Owner of LUFS Audio — professional audio for clients including Hinge Health and xAI: interactive UX sound, Wwise / Unity pipelines, and AI voice in six languages. I also run a 100+ container homelab across ~10 machines on a Tailscale zero-trust mesh, managed with Docker Compose stacks and a custom automation agent. CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ in progress — expected 2026.
