R&D Scientist in AI, Software engineering, and Human-Computer Interaction specialized in creating bespoke end-user applications for music generation involving human in the interaction loop.
My software skills include Full-stack development, package development in Python & C++. I am competent in Mixed methods user research, specifically, using ANOVA, and thematic analysis. My teaching experiences include Creative Coding, Games, Interaction design & Computational Art.
I have a strong academic track record of publishing in Computer Science and Music venues such as ICCC, NIME, and Creativity and Cognition, and actively write independent grants scaling up research to industry prototypes.
