Francesco Focher

Music composer, sound engineer, television production engineer

During my work experience I specialised in music production, VO recording and sound design for TV and radio commercials. Right now, I'm working for the national public broadcasting company of Italy as video switcher operator and augmented-reality specialist. I strongly believe in Louis Pasteur's quote To be astonished at anything is the first movement of the mind towards discovery as curiosity has been the greatest push in my whole life so far. I'm particularly passionate about computer programming, automation and crazy tech stuff from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence. I call myself a quick learner and a ductile worker with a proactive mindset and creativity in problem solving, always looking for inspiration.
