Game Programmer & Sound Designer

Hello! I enjoy writing and implementing code in every area of game design. I also use my background in music while doing technical audio, both in terms of adaptive music and sound design. I love learning new things and meeting new people, and both music and video games have provided me the opportunity to do so.

I like thinking about how each individual piece interacts with the others and working on a team to make everything sing. Currently, I am wearing many hats while working on Breach of Space (AI programming, implementation, sound designer, composer).

Audio

Having both a degree in music and a degree in game design, I try to use both to inform the other. I am very interested in technical audio and adaptive soundtracks, working to create an interesting and unique experience for every player. I mostly use Reason 11 for composing, ProTools and Adobe Audition for recording, and FMOD Studio for implementation.
