Ben Kalman - Games

I’m an Australian game sound designer and software developer.

As a sound designer I’ve done some studio work, but most of my experience comes from 7+ game jams where I’ve done the sound design and implementation, music, and usually code.

I spend a lot of my non-dad energy creating and practicing sound design, and I’ve started uploading some of it to YouTube for fun.

I also made an iOS game, Jumpling.

As a software developer I have 14+ years of experience with both big companies and startups.
