I hold a degree in Game Design and began my career in 2011, working on design and sound for games. Since then, I've participated in more than 50 projects.

In 2014, I joined Flux Games and participated in several projects like Hunger Games Card Game, Trenga, and GUTS. There, I started to focus only on sound design and technical aspects of the process (Wwise, Fmod, Unity). In 2018, I left Flux Games and started working as a freelancer, and I've collaborated on several projects with Lionsbridge, 7Sounds, DX Gameworks, Flux Games, and Mdois Studios.

In 2020, I started a new journey at Wildlife Studios, helping to create and build the Audio Department I currently lead. My team’s work covers Wildlife live games and over seven independent studios within Wildlife’s structure.

I also teach sound design at EBAC and Wwise at Game Audio Academy and work on external projects at Moonsailor.
