Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoon Ko is a founder and software engineer with eight years of experience building production software at the intersection of music, languages, and games. Based in New York, he recently launched Bagel Seed Studios and architected Wavewright, a modular music sandbox in C# and Godot featuring a real-time audio graph of 60+ interconnected audiovisual modules and DSP techniques like FFT-based convolutional reverb. His background includes software engineering roles at Amazon and Tulip Interfaces and internships across web and systems teams, giving him a strong foundation in scalable product development and UX-driven design. Joon manages full product lifecycles—from DSP architecture and localization to Steam publishing and community strategy—bringing both technical depth and creator-focused product instincts. He’s particularly curious about how interactive audio systems can blend gameplay and language experiences, a theme that consistently informs his projects.
