Edgar Delgado

Creative Math Systems Developer

I develop creative systems at the nexus of mathematics, computation, and music.

I am currently building modular forms, inspired by SageMath and LMFDB, and ts-tonnetz, two packages for real-time algorithmic composition. In addition, my libraries for generating multidimensional figurate numbers have surpassed 17,000 downloads.

I have published an article indexed in Scopus on Mathematical Music Theory, contribute to international open-source projects, and teach at the postgraduate level.

I contribute to the development of ZifferJS, a generative music notation and parser. It is designed to fit into any live coding environment that supports web technologies. • Implementing mathematical algorithms based on simplicial complexes and graph theory • Creating unit tests and writing documentation • Creating generator functions to work with infinite sequences 💻 TypeScript, Vitest, Git
