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 timeline triggers and animation events

Training & Docs — Trained a new hire and developed 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

Pipeline — Developed audio behavior standards, naming conventions, and approval workflows improving consistency across teams

Optimization — 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.

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

3D Spiders — Randomized metal footstep samples with pitch variation, triggered by animation events in 3D space. Extra creepy in 3d!

Climb On!

Lead Programming · Creative Lead · Sound Design

3D adventure climbing game built in Unity. Designed and programmed 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. Simulates an increase in wind intensity as you climb up the mountain and the filter opens

Wind Gusts — Dual gust systems with randomized frequency shifts at different amounts layered over main wind ambience

Reverb — Cave and outdoor reverb zones blending all audio into a cohesive mountain soundscape

Rooster Kick

Game Design · Sound Design · Implementation

Unity game with nest building survival mechanics. 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

3D Audio & Doppler — Implemented 3D spatialized sounds with Doppler effects, most noticeable in the bee as it buzzes by
