Game Audio Swiss Army Knife, Ideas Guy & Seeker of Solutions Open to the right collaborations and roles. My hat stand is stacked full of official and unofficial game audio roles spread over a matrix of platforms, platform generations and game genres. They have strengthened me as an indivicual contributor, support person, audio lead, technical audio architect, all in one audio department! I've created button clicks to audio engines and optimized audio schemas alike. I approach audio design holistically as an eco-system: material, structure, function and vision. 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬: Sound Design • Technical Sound • VR/AR Audio • Audio Systems • Game Audio • Music Composition • MMO • MOBA • Mobile • Retro • Project Audio Leadership Working at the intersection of sound design, technical integration, and team leadership. From prototyping spatial audio in experimental engines to shipping on AAA pipelines, I lead with clarity, empathy, and end-to-end problem solving. I build real-time audio pipelines, craft soundscapes, and lead teams across PC, mobile, VR/AR, and console. From scripting and middleware integration to voice direction and adaptive music scoring, I thrive on solving complex challenges sonically and technically whilst pushing interactive experiences forward.
