Open Source Contributions

ElectroSmith Daisy (2019-2020)

LMMS (2017)

LMMS stands for Linux MultiMedia Studio. It is a cross-platfom digital audio workstation (DAW) for making electronic music. For LMMS, I implemented a Sean Costello reverberator as a native LMMS plugin. I also have made efforts to simplify the audio plugin development process for native LMMS plugins.

AudioKit (2015-2017)

AudioKit is an iOS audio framework for synthesis and analysis. For AudioKit, I ported Soundpipe/Sporth to AudioKit, and helped to port STK plugins directly to AudioKit

Csound (2015)

Csound is one of the oldest musical programming languages still active to this day. I implemented the Paulstretch opcode, based on the the extreme time stretching tool by Paul Nasca Octavian.

Faust (2014)**:

FAUST is a function language for audio DSP that transpiles to C, C++, ASM.js, and others. It is capable of writing to several standard plugin formats, including VST, AU, LV2, LADSPA. I updated the faust2csound script and architecture file for Csound 6.0, which targets Csound opcodes.

Qubit Electronics (2012)**:

Assisted in the firmware development for the Qubit Nebulae: a Raspberry Pi and Csound Powered Model. I also did contract work and helped them build templates for PD.
