Dec 2023
Bachelor of Science, Double Major in Artificial Intelligence and Music Technology
GPA: 3.70, Dean's List Fall 2022, Spring 2022
Selected Coursework:
AI Counterpoint
Spring 2022
Developed program that generates original Renaissance Counterpoint
Uses local search & simulated annealing to find musical passages with fewest number of harmony errors
Developed completely from scratch with no libraries, including a MIDI file (.mid) reader and writer.
Included in music with more than 10,000 streams on Spotify↗.
Detects over 30 different harmony errors such as parallel fifths, non-diatonic notes, and dissonant intervals.

Gesture Glove
Spring 2021
Developed MIDI-controller glove from scratch with Arduino.
Moving hand up/down, left/right, or twisting updates MIDI control change for each respective axis.
Flex sensors detect finger bending. User makes a fist to update CC values.
Connects wirelessly via BLE in Audio MIDI Setup (MacOS). No driver or extra software necessary.
LED light signals connection status, CC values, and finger positions.
Hand-sewn and soldered.
Inspired by Imogen Heap's MiMU gloves↗.
