I'm a software engineer exploring in the intersection of computers and music on the web and in your DAW.

About Me

I'm a frontend engineer that enjoys building intuitive and compelling product experiences. At the right company I am frequently at all stages of the product pipeline, from feature ideation, UI design, implmentation/testing, even user interviews for feedback and iteration. I love to work closely with designers on making their visions come to life and collaborating on component libraries to lower the barrier to UX success for the whole team. I don't shy away from the backend or devops either: if it affects the product experience I will have my hands on it.

Sound is my deepest passion, it has driven everything I've done. It has led me towards a number of fruitful projects, including creating and teaching a computer music class at my alma mater. I'm also the co-founder of LUTE, a technology ensemble with a focus on accessibility.

VODER

The VODER was an early form of speech synthesis designed by Bell Labs and demonstrated at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Requiring a human operator, Helen Harper was the first person to learn how to play it. Put yourself in her shoes and try to operate this simulation of the original console.

Founded as part of a computer music class I created and taught between my undergraduate and graduate studies, LUTE is a technology ensemble dedicated to accessibility and music education. We are best known for our performances of Terry Riley's 1964 classic In C. Come see and perform with us!
