Role
As audio programmer on the project I started off maintaining and improving core VO, event management, music and ambience systems, later implemented custom dynamic occlusion solution, automated lipsync, subtitle pipelines and custom middleware-driven haptics system. Also, identified bottlenecks in toolchains and authored automation solutions including a TTS VO toolchain and DAW automation via Python/Lua, significantly reducing manual asset turnaround. Besides working in audio, I also helped with narrative and UI teams in areas such as sequencer debugging, loading screen and NPC reminder notification systems.
