Bio
I am a highly skilled and experienced sound designer with a focus on creating story-driven audio for interactive experiences. My educational background includes a two-year program in film production at MAPS Film School Adelaide, as well as a Bachelor of Audio Production from SAE Melbourne with a major in game audio.
I possess a strong technical foundation in sound design, including proficiency in FMOD, Wwise, and native audio systems such as UE4, UE5 and Unity. Additionally, I am well-versed in coding languages such as C#, Unreal Engine Blueprints, and Unity visual scripting, and have experience using source control tools such as Git, Plastic SCM and Perforce.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy playing board games with friends and engaging in online team-focused games.
