Roberto Ruiz

I am an student pursuing a career in audio engineering, taking coursework recently at the University of Silicon Valley including Intro to Game Audio, Desktop Production Fundamentals, and Game Audio Implementation. I have experience working with different DAWs including Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Reaper, and Audacity in addition to the game engine Unreal and middleware Wwise.  My ultimate goal is to become an audio programmer and sound designer and work in the film and gaming industry! 

I hope to put out the best sound design possible for gamers to have an enjoyable, interactive experience when playing games and for movie enthusiasts to enjoy an immersive experience watching films. There is so much to enjoy in video games and films, but the immersive experience within a game or film and the feeling of being part of the action is the most exciting, which is what I seek to promote working in a film and/or video game!

On a side note - I am currently working as an Audio-Visual Technician for several organizations and companies, including New Bridges Presbyterian Church in Hayward and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, both located within the San Francisco Bay Area in California. These jobs have provided insightful experiences in operating audio for shows in different scales and setting up equipment for events and activities, including recently FrightFest, Oktoberfest, and WinterFest. I am capable of taking on any opportunity as an AV Technician and work for any organization in need of technicians while getting to be familiarized with all levels of technology utilized for any event!
