Relatively new to the games industry, yet an experienced sound designer & audio editor. Credits include Fallout 3, FEAR 2, World of Warcraft, plus a large selection of unannounced titles.

2009 projects:

- Sound design and music production for MoleControl by Remode Ltd, a forthcoming 3D puzzle game. Created and implemented all sound effects, and produced (mixed/mastered) all music. Liaised with the lead programmer, game director, general manager and composer on a daily basis. In effect I was hired as the audio director, as I carried the responsibility for all sound and music of the game.

- Sound design for a forthcoming title by Frontier Developments. Created car related sounds such as surface loops, skids, suspension systems, tyre bumps.

- Sound design for a forthcoming PSN/XBLA game. Created about 85% of this game's SFX, including sounds for weapons, emotes, scoring systems, UI and physics.

- Sound design for a forthcoming remake of an old arcade game by Sega. Created surface loops for cars, arcade/abstract sounds for scoring systems/HUD/UI, and multiple SFX in other categories.

- Sound design for a forthcoming title by Codemasters. Created HUD/UI and environmental sounds.

- Sound design for a forthcoming title by SEGA.

- Sound design for a forthcoming XNA (Xbox 360) title.

- Sound design for an E3 trailer of a high profile game. This job could however not be finished unfortunately, due to various circumstances.

- Sound design for an as yet undisclosed iPhone game. Created soundscapes for cutscenes.

- Music production and sound design for a promotion video of an educational program.

- Sound design for a forthcoming iPhone game. Created various kinds of one shots and loops based on emergency situations.

- Sound design for a flash website (animations).

- Dialogue editing for multiple console videogames.

Please note that I am currently awaiting the release of a number of projects I worked on before I can update my portfolio with my most recent work.
