About Florian Titus Ardelean

Currently available for remote embedded co-dev and contract sound design. Operating from a purpose-built Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 studio. Fully integrated remote team member across EU, US, and Japan time zones.

Credits on DICE Award-winning and MPSE Golden Reel-nominated titles. My AAA experience includes Fortnite, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach , Concord, and more – see www.florianardelean.com

With a strong background in film post-production (SFX, Foley, dialogue, re-recording mixing), I bring a narrative-driven approach to game audio. As an embedded co-dev, I contribute across the audio cycle, from prototyping to final mix, working closely with discipline leads and production.
