Game Audio Designer





Passionate about video game sound design for both its artistic and technical aspects, combining reflection on interactive design and integration methods, I also like to develop tools that improve workflow and prototype various systems, in order to explore new interactive approaches.

Adaptive Driving Music
Android App Prototype (W.I.P)
For this project, I was inspired by an OBDII diagnostic tool I had used on my car. It made me realize that I could access real-time driving data, which led me to create this prototype of adaptive music and sound design. The next step is to fine-tune the Wwise RTPCs’ slew rates and curves, and to add more music loops to make the design less repetitive and more granular.

Microsoft Flight Sim. 2024 - Canadair
Asobo Studio (2024-2025)
On Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, I've mainly work on plane sound design, one of them was the iconic Canadair CL415.
I first participated in the recording of the engines and foleys, then I took care of the de-rush by choosing which takes and microphone I'll integrate to the game through Wwise systems and XML logic. And, finally, I've made the mix of the plane.

MSFS 2024 - Skyship600
Asobo Studio (2024-2025)
For the Skyship 600, an airship model from 1984, the design process was different. Indeed, we were not able to record it, so I first did a job of looking for sound references and information about the type of motorization and propellers. And using the sounds of a Porsche 930 and an electric glider's propeller, I was able (paradoxically) to simulate the authentic sound of the airship.

MSFS 2024 - Wind turbine
Asobo Studio (2024-2025)
In addition to airplanes, I worked on elements of the world, like the wind turbines. My main objective was to reproduce the sound of the blades (woosh) when they pass near the player, and modulate the sound characteristics according to the wind speed.
Reaper · Wwise · XML · Perforce · Asobo Engine
From a logical perspective, the condition "a sound passing near a listener" is similar to the Doppler effect. So, I started by using the Doppler value calculated by the simulation to modulate the volume, HPF, and LPF of a soundseed air wind to transform it into a woosh. This allowed me to spatialize and synchronize the sound with the blades passing in front of the camera. However, for high wind speeds, it didn’t sound very good, so I created a blend towards a soundseed air woosh (which didn’t need to be perfectrly synchronized at that speed).

SOUND DESIGN TRAILER VALORANT
Sound design remake (2025)
Since I really like Valorant and the musical version of this trailer, I wanted to design the sound for a part of this clip, with the goal of making the scene as dynamic and epic as possible, without music or other extradiegetic tonal element (like drone).

Multiplayer TPS Lyra Demo
UE5 Prototype (2025)
This is an ongoing multiplayer TPS demo project in UE5. The final goal is to design and implement complete sound systems for all aspects of the game. So far, I’ve implemented Wwise Spatial Audio, and I’ve designed the footsteps and weapon shot sounds, integrated with a priority system for Enemy / Ally / Player and a rough mix using HDR and RTPCs / meters.

MONSTER INSIDE
M2 Final Project (2024)
Monster Inside is a 2.5D horror asymmetrical co-op game, set in a French high school, where students turn into monsters. I've worked on the voice castings and the recordings, the sound design, the music, and the full integration in UE5. To enhance immersion, I also used Wwise Spatial Audio, even though the game's 3C didn’t fully lend themselves to it, leading to interesting constraints.

UNE VALSE STELLAIRE
Racing 2D game (2023)
This is a game was developed in a few days at Enjmin with a team of nine. We chose to mix a dreamlike universe with an imposed arcade and competitive gameplay. I contributed to the artistic direction in collaboration with the artists, and I worked on the composition and integration of music and some SFX.

ARBITRIUM
Gamejam "UNIJAM 2020" (2020)
​For this visual novel, created during a game jam with another school, we aimed to build a heavy atmosphere that complements the complex moral and emotional choices presented to the player. I've made the sound effects, working closely with the musician, integrator, and artists. It was an enriching experience that allowed me to meet talented and kind people.

ALTERNATE REALITIES
Sound design remake (2022)
This project, bringing together the work of around a hundred 3D artists for a YouTube challenge, really inspired me for its diversity of universes, which I wanted to transcribe through sound design. It was an opportunity for me to focus on ambiances, footsteps and foley, mainly working with personal recordings and synthesizers.

PERFECTION
Game Jam organized by Arte (2023)
​For this game jam, I challenged myself to use only sounds recorded on-site for both the music and SFX, using my headset as a microphone. This gave the game a unique identity that fit well with its unsettling and horror-themed atmosphere. I also implemented the sounds myself using FMOD and some scripting, to free up time for the programmers.

MSFS 2024 - Tools
Asobo Studio (2024-2025)
On MSFS 2024, I've also worked on tool updates, to ensure compatibility with production changes, and to enhance ergonomics. I've also developed small programs that allowed me to automate tasks or verify large amounts of assets (.xml or .wwu files).

Wwise MultiPosition systems (WIP)
UE5 Prototype (2025)
This is a prototype of a Wwise multi-positioning systems integrated in Unreal Engine 5. The video shows a dynamic system that allow to place lapping sounds of waves where the player goes using only one "voice". This will then allow having detailed and dynamic ambiences and can be used for procedurally generated maps.

HDR Priority viewer
WinUI3 WIP Tool
I am currently developing a tool in WinUI3 that connects to a Wwise project, retrieves events whose audio objects are routed to an HDR bus, and visualizes them in a chart using voice volume data, min/max voice volume RTPC values, and states. Its purpose is to give a clear overview of how priorities are defined within the project, with the option to narrow the scope using filters and search bars, or open them in Wwise with a simple Ctrl + Click.

PROXIMITY VOICE CHAT / WWISE
Unreal 5 prototype (2024)
While working on a multiplayer project with a friend, we made a free realistic proximity voice chat rooted to Wwise, in order to use Wwise Spatial Audio. Together, we designed the system for sending voice data from the EOS plugin to Wwise. He then handled the C++ coding (voice management with EOS and multiplayer), while I worked on the Wwise integration and level prototype.

OBSTRUCTION OCCLUSION
Unity Plugin Prototype (2023)
This is an occlusion and obstruction detection system based on pathfinding, inspired by the system in the game Ready or Not. Currently in the prototype stage, it would be interesting to later incorporate surface types and combine it with other effects like attenuation and reverb.

REAPER VOICE CONTROLLER
Windows App (2022)
This is a standalone application that allows to send voice commands to Reaper via the OSC protocol. It can be particularly useful for accessibility purpose or to control recordings remotely.

UNITY REAPER CONTROLLER
Plugin Unity (2020)
This is a plugin that allows Unity to control Reaper (and vice versa), making it possible to test sounds being created in Reaper directly from Unity—without needing to import files or manually sync recordings with the game.

UNITY REVERB DETECTION
Plugin Unity (2020)
This is a reverb detection system for 3D projects in Unity, designed to enhance sound immersion in a simple and automatic way. I've made it for a project that had a procedural terrain generation, and where it was difficult to predict in which environment the player was navigating.
