About me
I am an exceptionally driven and creative individual seeking to enter the world of computing; having discovered my passion for software development and data science through their applications in the arts - specifically within electronic music. Moving forth I wish to educate myself and commit labour toward more professional endeavours, and become a valuable asset to the programming industry.
Projects
  • 1-Up.
    1-Up.My final project within my Bachelors of Science in Electronic Music and Computing Technology. 1-Up is a live coding language, shipped as a: executable to be ran on the command line interface, and a max4live patch to recieve the notational data over OSC protocol. 1-Up is a means to interject 'live-ness' in the space of the laptop musician. Designed in accordance to the fundamentals present within various exercises of the 'music tracker' phenomena - the majority of the work in this project was inf
  • Pathways
    PathwaysMy first attempt at a Live-Coding language/environment. A computational short hand to control a rather complex modular patch with very brief and simple language. An exercise in advanced parsing, and user experience design mostly.
  • NDrum
    NDrumAn entry level attempt at compiling/preprocessing a dataset comprised of midi files. Shipped with a drum machine application in which makes use of this model to create generative drum patterns.

    Live Sound Engineer/ComposerSelf Employed
    London, United KingdomFreelance
    As a live sound engineer, I have worked on numerous shows, handling sound engineering and PA system setup. Notably, I was entrusted with the hire, installation, and engineering of Audio Visuals for a prestigious exhibition at the Horse Hospital, featuring renowned Berlin-based filmmaker Marianna Simnett. In the field of composition, I create scores for fine-art cinema, collaborating with peers and online clients. Often deploying my software design prowess to create bespoke tools in which aid the scoring process, and often work audio reactive to the video stream.
