Everi — Audio Designer

Sound Design · Implementation · Dynamic Music

Designed responsive audio systems across multiple shipped real-money gaming titles. Led audio direction on Stellar Bounties, Lucky Fireworks, and Off The Hook.

Dynamic Music — Layered state-based systems that evolve across gameplay with synchronized transitions that remain in time across states
Audio Debug Tool — Wrote the TDD and helped construct and implement a custom audio debug tool with the core library team
Implementation Methods — Developed new implementation patterns using state-based event triggers and animation events
Training & Docs — Trained a new hire and developed the training materials; wrote process documentation for the team wiki
Metering — Conducted and documented metering passes across all parts of the games
Audio Doc Automation — Built a script that exports a JSON from the game engine, imports into Excel, and runs through an LLM to auto-fill audio design doc descriptions
Pipeline — Developed audio behavior standards, naming conventions, and approval workflows improving consistency across teams
Mobile — Performance optimization reducing memory usage and defining new standards across mobile platforms

Logic Bullet

FMOD · Analog Synth Design · Dynamic Music

2D run-and-gun puzzle game. Custom FMOD integrations built from the ground up — SFX tuned to match musical keys, dynamic music with vertical and horizontal layering, 3D spatialization, reverb zones, and a reactive pitch-bend damage effect inspired by a skipping record.

Dynamic Music — Vertical and horizontal layering with seamless loop transitions triggered by level sections and boss encounters
Music Key Tuning — Global MusicKey parameter auto-tunes SFX via pitch shifting, keeping sound effects harmonically aligned with the score
3D Spatialization — Left/right panning via FMOD Spatializer with the player as the attenuator, improving spatial readability and immersion
Reverb Zones — Snapshot-based system (1s / 2s / 4s tails) triggered via Unity colliders for rapid iteration and environmental consistency
Damage Feedback — Reactive pitch-bend 'skipped record' effect on player damage for distinct, variable feedback
Dialogue System — Co-developed stylized phoneme-based audio inspired by expressive sample-based approaches (e.g. Undertale)
Pause Filter — Parameterized filter with Seek Speed for sharp engage and gradual release, enhancing perceived momentum on resume
ScriptableObject Pipeline — Co-created tool that reads FMOD GUIDs and auto-generates ScriptableObjects; extended to produce strongly-typed enums per event for type-safe audio calls through the AudioManager
Routing — Master routing into MUSIC / SFX / UI groups with EQ carving and SFX→Music sidechain compression to maintain clarity during dense gameplay

F=MA

FMOD · Sound Design · Implementation

Zero-gravity space station FPS. Built velocity-based audio attenuation, dynamic fan audio with exposed pitch parameters, and FMOD reverb snapshots for spatial zones.

Velocity Audio — Low-pass filter attenuates with movement speed, creating a sense of motion through air; the same pitch-shifting technique was used to match a giant fan spinning down and back up to speed
3D Spiders — Randomized metal footstep samples with pitch variation, triggered by animation events in 3D space

Climb On!

Lead Programming · Creative Lead · Sound Design

3D adventure climbing game built in Unity. Designed the entire game including climbing mechanics inspired by Breath of the Wild, IK animation, and ragdoll physics.

Procedural Wind — White noise generated via OnAudioFilterRead with low-pass cutoff programmatically tied to player height
Wind Gusts — Dual gust systems with randomized frequency shifts at different amounts layered over main ambience
Reverb — Cave and outdoor reverb zones blending all audio into a cohesive mountain soundscape

Rooster Kick

Sound Design · Implementation

Unity game featuring a custom audio system built with ScriptableObjects and injectables. Each character owns its own SO containing all audio data, supporting randomized clips, ordered clips, and pitch randomization.

Custom Audio System — ScriptableObject-based architecture with injectables allowing randomized clips, ordered clips, and pitch randomization — each character owns its own audio data SO
3D Audio & Doppler — Implemented 3D spatialized sounds with Doppler effects — most noticeable in the bee buzz as it passes by
