Hey, I’m Joel
Audio programmer with a passion for music and interactive audio.
Sound Playground
Personal project focusing on areas such as:
Wwise Spatial Audio
Visuals synced to music
Adjustable playback speed of music
Car engine SFX
Theremin Hero
A VR game I developed where you control pitch, volume and vibrato of this theremin-like instrument by using hand tracking. I wanted to create something innovative where I could combine my musical knowledge and technical expertise in audio programming. Done with Unity and Wwise.
Racket Club
Racket Club is an all-new sport designed specifically for VR that brings the best parts of games like tennis and pickleball into your own home. Developed by Resolution Games.
I worked as an audio programmer on this game; implementing audio features connected to physics, dynamic music, voice chat. One feature I’m especially proud of is how the racket “whooshes” as you swing it through the air.
Spatial Ops
I’m currently working at Resolution Games as an audio programmer on this upcoming mixed reality FPS. I have implemented audio features in areas such as weapons, dialogue, spatial audio. The game contains a large amount of weapons and dialogue which demanded me to setup scalable and structured systems.
Generative Music
Personal project I worked on that allows you to:
Generate random melodies/chords that sound musically pleasing
Select different keys, modes and tempos
Control volumes of instruments separately
