Web Developer

Freelance

Commissioned by musical artist Alessandro Takeshi to create an “interactive lyric video” as a website for one of the songs on his most recent studio album. Built using Javascript and the p5.js library, the site plays the song and displays the lyrics in different ways for each verse, some of which are randomized and some of which are affected by user input.

Interests

My explorations in software began as an offshoot of my work in electronic music and music continues to be an important part of my life, both as a creator and a fan.

Other interests of mine include the strategy game Go, sports (basketball, baseball, disc golf, cricket, etc.), the Japanese language (I passed the JLPT N3 in 2023), and film from throughout the medium's history.
