Work With Me
I've spent the last several years building at the intersection of music, AI, and infrastructure — at Udio, Audius, and Tapped. I help founders, teams, and investors navigate the music-AI landscape.
How I Can Help
Technical Advisory
For music-AI startups that need senior technical guidance without a full-time hire. Architecture reviews, infrastructure strategy, ML pipeline design, and hands-on problem solving.
Due Diligence for Investors
For VCs and angels evaluating music-AI deals. I've worked inside the leading companies in this space and can assess technical feasibility, team strength, and competitive positioning.
Audio/AI Infrastructure Consulting
ML preprocessing pipelines, audio transcoding at scale, streaming infrastructure, and bridging the gap between research and production. I've built these systems at companies processing millions of audio files.
Background
- Udio — Product/Growth Engineer. Built the mobile app, shipped ML pipelines, and led experimental products like Moments.fm.
- Audius — Software Engineer. Worked on decentralized content storage, observability, and infrastructure across GCP + AWS.
- Tapped Ai — CEO / Technical Founder. Built the leading live music database from scratch.
- MS in Computer Science (ML/Data Science) from Virginia Commonwealth University.
