Beyond Lead duties I also sound designed and implemented content.

Player Movement Sounds

Halo 5
Lead Audio Implementer
As Lead Audio Implementer I managed a team of 6 Technical Sound Designers that oversaw the implementation of sound effects and music for the entire project. I personally owned several implementation systems including Player Foley, Ambiences, Campaign Moments, Sandbox Sounds and the sound design for Player Foley and Character Abilities.
Worked closely with Sandbox Designers to build out audio systems to support large scale changes to Halo's game play like the addition of Spartan Abilities (Clamber, Slide, Thrusters, Evade, Ground Pound, etc.)

Halo 4
Sound Designer/Audio Implementer
I started working on Halo 4 early in pre-production, prototyping systems and sound design experiences starting with internal proof of concept videos and moving quickly to a vertical slice.
After that I started to build out audio Sandbox Experiences and help the team prove out what the soundscape of Halo 4 should be. Also supported the team with external facing communications, ex. E3 Presentations and Demos.
During production I focused on sound design and implementation of Campaign Ambiences/Moments, Multiplayer Maps/Modes, Weapon Reloads, Foley and some Sandbox Weapons.
