I'm a senior engine/audio programmer, currently working at Ubisoft Toronto on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

I have a passion for designing and implementing audio systems, and have spent three years building the audio framework for Massive's flagship engine - Snowdrop.

I've continued working within Ubisoft at their Toronto studio on titles such as Watchdogs: Legion (Dunia engine), and most recently the Splinter Cell remake (back to Snowdrop).
