About
I currently work at Respawn Entertainment, where I was most recently the Audio Director for Jedi: Survivor. I am now working on [redacted].
My career began as a composer and sound designer, but I eventually developed a passion for other aspects of game audio, including dialogue, technology, and building a collaborative team environment.
In my spare time, I develop REAPER scripts at nvk.tools, aiming to improve game audio workflows for myself and others. I am committed to advancing the craft of sound design and sharing knowledge across the industry.
