Hi, I'm Chad and I make things. Professionally, I'm a programmer in the games industry but my background is actually in music composition and performance. I've been playing guitar and writing music for many years and went to college for it along the way. While studying at Mills College I was introduced to SuperCollider, a computer language for audio and music. Ever since I've been furiously programming and figuring how to combine these things, usually while being very noisy. In addition to programming and music I enjoy brewing beer with my wife Jessica and playing games. chad@chadmckinneyaudio.com www.chadmckinneyaudio.com www.github.com/ChadMcKinney
