I’m Josiah. I’m a sound designer, composer, and DSP developer, and a doctoral candidate in music composition at Johns Hopkins. Before any of that, I spent years teaching music and repairing instruments by hand, which shaped the way I listen and the way I work. I’m drawn to the mechanics of sound—how it’s produced, how small details change its behavior, and how those details can define a world or a character.

I focus on audio that is believable and internally coherent, whether I’m building a creature vocal chain, shaping an environment, or coding a system that reacts in real time.

My work is detail-driven, character-aware, and grounded in the physical logic of sound.
