I'm interested in how we create, experience and share sound! I recently graduated with a master's in Music, Science and Technology at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics. I use my skills in coding, audio signal processing, human-computer interaction design and music composition towards developing new technologies and experiences. View some of my past projects below.
