CV
Professional Summary
Hello, I'm Jose Fernandes, and I'm eager to explore opportunities for internships or contractual roles in the industry.
My goal is to contribute my skills, grow personally and professionally, and thrive in an environment where I can apply myself to achieve success.
I'm actively seeking hands-on experience to translate my theoretical knowledge into practical skills. I possess experience in Music Production and Audio Programming and am thrilled at the prospect of entering the workforce. Being an Audio Engineer is where I feel most at home and I'm excited to begin this journey in a professional capacity.
My experience largely stems from university projects, with a notable creation called "So Close and So Far," which I directed, produced, and brought to life. This project, available on the noFlooq YouTube channel, encapsulates my creative endeavors.
My final university project involved developing a Synthesizer Plugin, a collaborative effort with guidance from experts like Joshua Hodge and Dr. Stephen Oxnard. Additionally, I've delved into analog instruments, gaining insights into sound engineering, microphone circuits, and audio effects.
My unwavering passion lies in music, and I seek roles where I can pour my heart and soul into projects. While my professional experience has largely been within academic settings, my part-time jobs have been invaluable in nurturing personal development and honing communication skills. I firmly believe in the power of teamwork to solve problems and drive progress, and I value creativity as a catalyst for innovation within any company.
I am eager to contribute, learn, and collaborate in an environment that fosters growth and innovation, particularly within the realm of music-related projects.
