After graduation, he supplemented his work and studies with further degrees in digital animation, music composing, and game audio. He got a job at Hoplon Infotainment, where he worked on titles like We Love Quiz and Samsung’s Black River. He then moved to the United States to work on projects with Nintendo, Marvel, and Sega.
