In my past career, I worked in a every position imaginable in the Austin Music Industry. From professional DJ to Sales Manager, Audio Engineer to Session Guitarist, I had done it all. In 2016, I leveraged a lifetime passion for Linux and open-source software to a system administration role at a NLP startup. I finally saw the computer talk back and decided I needed to know everything about what makes that possible.
Five years later, I am now a Master’s student studying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at the University of Texas at Austin. I am still very interested in NLP, but my horizons have expanded to Computer Vision and Neural Audio Synthesis. In my spare time, I still play guitar, make bad electronic music, and build little devices to delight my curiosity.
I am currently working on a program synthesis approach to generate Faust code to produce audio synthesizer architectures. A synthesizer-synthesizer, if you will.
