BIO
I've been obsessed with audio and AR for 11 years (46% of my life). I built my first voice assistant on a Raspberry Pi at age 12. I built my first apps for the Google Glass when I was 13 years old. I studied C.S. at Yale, where my senior thesis focused on extracting clean speech transcripts from noisy multi-speaker audio. In the past, I've researched audio AI at the MIT Media Lab where I was part of the team that built the world's first collaborative human-AI live musical concert.
Ex-company, school and discipline below are derived from this bio. Nothing is inferred when the bio is missing.
