Who am I?

A recent graduate of Fullstack Academy, and armed with a liberal arts degree in Music Composition, I am a dedicated philomath who loves to find novel solutions to important problems. I think both programming and music are my tools to create and contribute to society something new and exciting.

Notable Projects

Genre-rator

Deep learning Convolutional Neural Net

(Python, NumPy, Tensorflow, Keras)

Genre-rator uses the latest methods in audio anaylsis and machine learning techniques to classify audio samples into 1 of 10 genres. It was pre-trained on 20000 samples of audio, and was inspired by my wishes to more objectively categorize my own music. Current model operates with ~89% success rate against training test set.

Beat Pal

Small Beat Pad Web App

Developed over a weekend for Fullstack Academy's Stack-a-thon, Beat Pal was a project that connected my two passions, engineering and music. I utilized the Tone.js API to create robust functionality and created the UI myself in a deep dive of flexbox and CSS/HTML.
