Resume
Jesse Emmoth
Programmer / Sound designer
Hi! I’m a programmer graduating from The Game Assembly in May 2026. Right now I’m doing my
LIA at ION Game Design where I get hands on experience from developing a game with Unreal
Engine.
Before attending TGA I worked in the music business as a jazz musician, composer and music
producer where I learned a lot about group dynamics, time management and team work which I’ve
found is also valuable in the software development industry.
During my time at TGA I’ve tried to touch on all roles as a programmer including audio, graphics
and gameplay although everything about performance, engine design and low level stuff is what
really sparks my interest.
I’m specializing in audio programming and have a few active projects including a room emulation
software utilizing line traced audio, an audio editor for games and a software monitor mixer
created with the JUCE framework. I have good experience in C++ and C and some knowledge
about writing code in C#, Java and Javascript.
In my spare time I like to cook italian foods, play tennis or spend time in my studio with a soldering
iron repairing some old recording gear while listening to some nerdy podcast!
