@scottburgess
I build interactive game audio, original sound effects, and music for engaging player experiences.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've created complete audio for indie and educational games, including the shipped Unity title Cosmo Lens at Legends of Learning, where I designed SFX, composed the soundtrack, and contributed game mechanics and levels.
At Necrohazard Studio, I design and implement an original SFX library in Logic Pro and FMOD, building event-driven interactive audio systems that support gameplay and creative direction. For Squiddy Squids, I delivered a custom 60+ sound library that shaped an animated character brand's sonic identity.
My background also includes audiobook editing and senior QA work on Pokémon TCG Live, where I've led bug triage, release candidate coordination, and QA mentorship. I work across Pro Tools, Reaper, Reason, Logic Pro, Serum, FMOD, Unity, and Unreal Engine.
