I am pursuing a master’s degree in Computer Science at Columbia University to deepen my technical skills after graduating from NYU with a bachelor’s degree in Music Technology and Business of Entertainment, Media and Technology. My experiences have equipped me with practical skills in audio production, product design, technology, and engineering. I am passionate about exploring innovative applications of programming, machine learning, and software development in music production and audio engineering. By combining my creative background with computer science, I aim to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of technology.

Projects

Content Recommendation System

Python, ML Algorithms, Linear Algebra & Probability, Data Analysis, Visualization

Multi-Model Engine: Created song recommendation system which processed and analyzed 600k song dataset containing audio features and metadata. Applied Direct Similarity Matching, SVD, NMF, and Factorization Machines to generate personalized recommendations based on user preferences and behavior.
Optimization & Evaluation: Handled cold start, engineered cross-feature interactions, implemented dimension- reduction and matrix factorization techniques, created weighted similarity metrics combining genre and audio feature analysis. Developed visualization tools to assess model performance, analyzed latent spaces, examined feature distributions and effects of parameter changes.

Word Replacer Tool

Java, Data Structures, Algorithms, File Manipulation, Performance Optimization

Developed a program in Java that performs global search and replace within a text file based on provided input text and word replacement pairs. Implemented several data structures (BSTree, RBTree, HashMap) to store and manage word pairs efficiently. Designed custom algorithms able to manage large inputs by utilizing unique transitive dependency handling and cycle detection, leading to highly optimized performance and runtimes.

Analog / Digital Synthesizers

C++, KiCad, Fusion360, PCB Design, 3D Modeling, Analog / Digital Signal Processing

Independently created and developed both analog and digital synthesizers featuring custom-built circuity and software in C++ to simulate / synthesize various waveforms, effects, and control interfaces.

Interactive Sound / Game Ball

C++, KiCad, Fusion360, PCB Design, 3D Modeling, Analog / Digital Signal Processing

Built all components of interactive ball with embedded sensors, allowing users to manipulate sound and play games based on orientation and accelerometer data. Developed unique user interface and algorithms in C++, created custom Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and designed 3D Model using KiCad and Fusion360.
