About

I currently work at Epic Games as an Audio Director for Fortnite: Battle Royale.

Previously, I worked at Respawn Entertainment as an Audio Director for Jedi: Survivor.

My career began as a composer and sound designer, but I eventually developed a passion for other aspects of game audio, including dialogue, technology, and building a collaborative team environment.

In my spare time, I develop REAPER scripts at nvk.tools, aiming to improve game audio workflows for myself and others. I am committed to advancing the craft of sound design and sharing knowledge across the industry.
