  Yle

  Mar 2017 - May 2017

  Sound Engineer, Sound Design

  I aided in the recording and production of the podcast Depressiopäiväkirjat. This involved recording dialogue, foley, and music, as well as creating ideas for sound effects that would have the correct impact, and coming up with inventive ways to create these sounds. I also played a role in mixing and mastering the final product, with an emphasis on EQ and compression work.

  Playvation Ltd

  Sept 2017 - Dec 2021

  Freelance Audio Engineer

  I help Playvation reach their goals in creating a language learning app for children named Moomin Language School. I do this by taking the lead in recording sessions in my home studio, directing voice actors to ensure consistency between their different characters, and by editing and balancing the final audio files to be sent to programmers. The app originally taught both English and Finnish, and so I worked editing both languages until the decision was made to focus on teaching only English. The app is currently being used in many countries around the world to teach English. Show less

  Audico Systems Oy

  Dec 2018 - Nov 2021

  AV Operator

  I am currently part of a multinational team whose role is to, amongst other things, help clients at the European Chemicals Agency with everything from finding the right tools for all kinds of meetings that involve virtual participants, to supporting these meetings, even stretching to providing IT support to users. As well as virtual meetings, I also maintain meeting rooms, fix any technical issues for users regarding AV equipment as well as training users on the usage of said equipment, and on occasion I have even been in charge of mixing live bands at organisational events.At the beginning of the year, my main client moved to a new building. I played a key role in moving AV equipment, configuring the new meeting rooms and spaces, and I took the lead in the installation of the buildings info screen system, as this system was originally designed by me in my previous position with Manpower.When not needed by the European Chemicals Agency, I assist with other roles at Audico. I have been on site helping with AV installations - both installing and configuring equipment, I troubleshoot problems I have noticed at European Chemicals Agency that don't usually fall under my daily role there, and most recently I have been tasked with checking all the documentation and schematics for the planned installation against the actual installation, and modifying these documents to help create as-built documentation.

  I created a small library of music for the European Chemicals Agency that consisted of backing tracks and beds to be used in podcasts, informative videos, and during virtual presentations, as well as a jingle to be used as audio branding. I also composed and produced the score for a short documentary about lead in gunshot, and how ECHA is legislating to help the environment.
