The Overmare Studios
Ashes of Equestria
Developer: The Overmare Studios
The Overmare Studios is an online hobby group creating the game Ashes of Equestria. I joined in 2017 as a Technical Sound Designer and ported all audio from Unity to FMOD - fixing many audio bugs in the process and improving performance -, created new sound effects and implemented new audio behaviour. Later I became Audio Team Lead and handled audio direction and applications before stepping down in 2019.

Sound Bakery
Sound Bakery is an open-source audio middleware tool. It has the design of Wwise and the API of FMOD — merging the best of both.
Audio Wave Simulation
Inspired by Project Acoustics, my dissertation focused on audio wave simulation. In the end, I created OpenPL, a 2D wave simulation tool similar to Planeverb. OpenPL is not ready for commercial release but features a working simulation in Unreal Engine, Unity, Wwise and FMOD.
