TECHNICAL STRENGTHS AND TOOLS
- Digital signal processing: convolution, Fourier analysis, filter design, spectral analysis, physical modeling.
- High performance real-time programming in C++. Fast, low latency code that meets hard deadlines: fixed execution budgets, cache aware memory layout, profiling, and approximation with known error bounds.
- Professional, maintainable code: clear naming and structure, consistent conventions, and documented intent.
- Git + GitHub power user: branching, rebasing, and code review.
- Formally correct code: explicit invariants, careful edge case and boundary handling, and numerical error analysis, so behavior can be verified rather than assumed.
- Reproducible builds and continuous integration.
- Deep listening and professional audio mixing.
- Live performance and composition of computer music.
- Programming languages: C++, Python, JavaScript.
- High level applications: Ableton, Reaper, Adobe products, DaVinci Resolve.
- Defensive and careful use of LLM tooling.
