Creative Math Systems Developer
I develop creative systems that merge mathematics, computation, and music through structural analogies.
All for real-time algorithmic composition, my current projects includemodular forms (SageMath/LMFDB-inspired) and multidimensional figurate number libraries with over 26,000 downloads, as well asts-tonnetz.
I have published aScopus-indexed articlein Mathematical Music Theory, serve as a peer reviewer for The European Physical Journal Special Topics, contribute to international open-source projects, and teach postgraduate courses.
