About Me

Hello, I'm Manoel V. McCadden.

I am an Audio Programmer and Technical Sound Designer passionate about bridging the gap between audio and technology through my musical and technical backgrounds.

I am currently a Junior at DigiPen Institute of Technology, pursuing my B.S. in Computer Science and Digital Audio. In my time at DigiPen I have worked on and completed three game titles as the team's Audio Programmer, where I utilized C and C++ to build custom systems, engines, and tools.

Currently working on a fourth game title as the team's Technical Sound Designer, through which I develop custom systems and integration methods and create unique audio assets for cinematics to assist with the team's evolving needs.

Beyond my programming work, you can find me playing my Bari Sax with the DigiPen Jazz Dragons and DigiPen Big Band, providing live sound support for events, or working in the campus recording studio.
