I’m a Berklee professor and graduate, a jazz pianist/composer, and a music-tech founder.

My work is about turning messy creative problems into clear, repeatable results — in the classroom, the studio, and the code editor.

I release music across genres under multiple aliases (including moodbird and Fat Mitchell) and design software for real stage-and-studio realities: fast interaction, musician-friendly UX, and results you can hear.

• Make complex ideas feel playable (learning-by-doing, not menus)
• Fast iteration (tight feedback loops, strong defaults, fewer knobs)
• Practical creativity (tools that get used in real sessions and classrooms)
• Clean UX for technical systems (power without intimidation)

Performance + MIDI

• iOS MIDI controllers, gesture/physics-driven interaction, creative mapping systems

Audio + Plugins

• DSP experiments, preset workflows, plugin UI systems, sound-design utilities

Realtime graphics

• GLSL / shader pipelines, audio-reactive 3D, modular visualizer builders

Education

• student-friendly synth systems, guided learning modes, curriculum tooling
• iOS ear training + theory tools (e.g., Solfège Tuner, interactive theory utilities)

If you’re here for MIDI / audio tools, start with TandemLibrary and LAUncher. If you’re here for UI components, start with AudioUI.

If you’re new here, start with the top two pins — they’re the most representative.

These are the projects I’m actively evolving (and the ones I’d start with):

• TandemLibrary — core building blocks and experiments powering Tandem-style MIDI workflows
• AudioUI — modern, accessible audio interface components for React (published on npm)
• LAUncher — a professional-grade Audio Unit host app for macOS
• NAM-Reamp-Lab — tools + experiments around Neural Amp Modeler / reamp workflows
• InSpace — a customizable 3D gizmo control component for transform/rotate interactions
• Node2Joy — Swift experiments around expressive control and interaction

Tip: the order of your Pinned repos is your profile’s “front door.” Put the 2–3 you want people to click first at the top.

• Well-scoped prototypes that prove a concept quickly
• Iterative builds that evolve into stable tools
• Experiments in interaction design (especially for music)
• Notes + utilities that support teaching and production

I’m obsessed with the moment when a tool stops feeling like software and starts feeling like an instrument.

If you care about creative tools, music systems, and interfaces that teach while you use them, we’ll get along.
