About
Game/audio engineer focused on Unreal Engine audio implementation and optimization, with hands-on experience building spatial/environmental and combat/weapon audio behaviors via Sound Cues and Blueprints. Has owned an end-to-end AAA-style audio pipeline (recording through Pro Tools mixing to in-engine integration) with defined sign-off criteria and playtest validation, plus strong dialogue repair experience using iZotope RX.
Experience
Key Strengths
- UE4/UE5 spatial audio systems with dynamic attenuation driven by Blueprints
- Audio mix decision-making with clear acceptance criteria (clarity, balance, emotional impact) validated via playtesting
- Dialogue intelligibility problem-solving (hum/phase) using RX repair, linear-phase EQ, and multiband compression with careful tradeoffs
- Late-stage gameplay audio optimization/debugging (CPU spikes, stutters) using Unreal profiling and changes like preloading cues and reducing layers/polyphony
- Designing and implementing audio prioritization to keep critical sounds audible during overlap
