With more than two decades of experience spanning software engineering, game development, sound design, composition, and music production, I offer a rare blend of technical expertise and artistic vision. I’ve served in roles ranging from Lead Engineer to Lead Sound Designer and Composer, developing game prototypes, gameplay and audio systems, interactive tools, immersive soundscapes, and cinematic scores for dozens of shipped titles.
As a lifelong musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and professional producer, I also provide recording, mixing, and mastering services. Whether your project needs compelling music, polished audio, innovative sound design, or someone who understands both the creative and technical sides of production, I deliver thoughtful, high-quality work with clear communication and meticulous attention to detail.

This is a short sample I created as a pitch for a contract, combining original music and narration to create a polished, distinctive radio-show introduction.
I love creating simple, bespoke pieces like this—music and sound designed specifically to give a podcast, radio show, television series, or other media project its own identity and character.
In addition to producing, recording, mixing, and mastering this album, I wrote, performed, and recorded parts for electric guitar, bass, drums, keys, and assisted in vocal harmonies. One of my personal favorite tracks is “Wake Up,” which you can find on my SoundCloud page:

This was my bid for a television series. All audio for this intro was redone from scratch, including a sonic brand for the De Sales Studios logo animation, voice over, and supporting music.
I created this small, personal project in the style of an old radio drama. I wrote the script and created supporting sound design and music, and mixed and mastered to appropriate audiobook loudness and noise floor.
