DAACI creates composer-focused generative music composition systems using machine learning techniques informed by musicology.

I have been building out prototypes of an AI-assisted browser-based digital audio workstation, using TypeScript, React, Web Audio and Web MIDI, Next.js, Drizzle ORM and PostgreSQL.

I have also been supporting the frontend of a web-based registry for DAACI VST plugins, and UI design and implementation in the plugins using C++20 and the JUCE framework.

Worked on the Targeted Messages product, including the UI of the messages themselves, a rich content editor with live preview for message creation, content database and CDN, event tracking and analytics platform.

Previously, my team built a feed of hotel prices and scaled it from scratch to serving a million prices a day from over 1,000 hotels. The prices were sourced from user tracking, screen-scraping and algorithmic inference.

Triptease engineers work full-stack, including all development, ops and SRE, in small autonomous squads.

Worked in a team of consultants at a fintech, setting up CI pipelines, modernising existing C++ server-side infrastructure, and helping to build new Java microservices to replace PostgreSQL stored procedures.

As Apprentice, completed a three-month paid Academy program learning essential skills in software design, Extreme Programming practices, Clean Code, and Domain-Driven Design.

Worked on button-mapping software for hardware interfaces on a film post-processing system. Worked across the full stack from usability testing and UI implementation down to optimising the display drivers. Also wrote an xUnit-style unit test framework for the in-house scripting language to aid in testing my code.

As an intern, built automated testing harnesses, helped maintain the FilmLight intranet, and built developer workstations.
