About Me

Hey, I’m K.

I build complex audio systems for games, and then I write soundtracks tightly integrated into those systems for dynamic, expressive, cohesive virtual soundscapes.

That’s meant an adaptive score driven by player emotion in Unreal MetaSounds for InfeStation, a tempo-synced FMOD audio engine in custom C++ for Inline: Out of Time, and a 9-track orchestral soundtrack for a co-op cat dungeon crawler. The genre goes wherever the game needs it: retrofuturistic skate punk, creepy-cozy, horror, Latin-American fantasy.

I have a BS in Computer Science and Digital Audio from DigiPen.

If your game needs a sound of its own, get in touch.
