    Bio

    I am a game audio professional specializing in designing and implementing sound that drives player immersion and emotional engagement. My work spans the full audio pipeline — from concept creation and sound design to in-engine integration and adaptive systems.
    I have contributed as Lead Game Audio Designer to award-winning and commercially successful projects, including Hero Wars: Alliance (180M+ downloads, $1.7B revenue) and Knock on the Coffin Lid (GDWC 2023 finalist, console release 2025).
     
    Beyond production, I actively study the impact of sound on gameplay perception, conducting industry-focused research such as a global survey on mobile game audio usage. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of interactive audio, ensuring it serves as a storytelling tool and a core part of the player experience.
