About

I studied Music Engineering Technology at the University of Miami, graduating in 2025 with minors in art, game design, and computer engineering.

Now I build interactive tools for learning music. ButterNotes is a spaced-repetition trainer for chords and scales, played on a MIDI keyboard. Tonewheel is a rotating vovelle that shows how modes are built from stacked fifths. Unblend is an ear trainer for picking a single note out of a chord. Before this I led development on a VR chemistry experience at the university’s Virtual Experiences Simulation Lab, and spent eight months in Beijing designing software and pedagogy for light-up digital keyboards at XiaoYeZi.

I play classical piano, collect melodicas, and draw. The games I keep coming back to are the ones built around a single clear idea — Monument Valley, Antichamber, The Witness, Baba Is You.
