I'm a software engineer and composer. For more than ten years I've been writing software to automate my music composition process, creating a novel model of music for each new work. At exfm, I built backend systems for music discovery apps. I started Monthly Music Hackathon NYC to encourage several local New York City communities interested in music and technology to collaborate on generating new ideas and projects. Along the way, I also spent several years managing development of video production infrastructure at the NYC PBS TV station. I have degrees in music spanning performance, composition, and musicology, with a specialty in the music of India. I'm interested in exploring new ways technology can be used to create, distribute, analyse, and discover music and audio. To this end, I'd be happy to play a number of roles, even all at once: software developer, project manager, musicologist, technology evangelist. I have a special interest in the field of Music Information Retrieval and bridging the gap between developments in that field and real-world use of those developments in industry and among musicians.
