Musical journey

Music has been an integral part of my life since childhood, beginning with my early introduction to Carnatic music at the age of five. This rich and traditional form of Indian classical music became the foundation upon which I built my musical journey. As I grew, my curiosity led me to explore a wide array of musical genres, including Hindustani classical music, Western Classical, and contemporary POP. Each genre opened new horizons and deepened my appreciation for the vast spectrum of musical expression.

I recently graduated with a Master of Science in Music Engineering Technology from the University of Miami's Frost School of Music. This program allowed me to seamlessly blend my passion for music with my technical expertise. I am deeply fascinated by the potential of technology to revolutionize the music experience. My academic training provided me with a strong foundation in the technical aspects of music production, sound design, and audio engineering, equipping me with the skills to innovate in this ever-evolving field.

During my time at the University of Miami, I served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, where I had the privilege of teaching and mentoring students in music technology. This role not only enhanced my teaching abilities but also deepened my understanding of the subject as I helped others navigate the complexities of audio engineering. In addition, my work as a Recording and Live Sound Engineer at the school's Recording Services provided invaluable hands-on experience. I gained practical insights into the intricacies of audio production and live sound, working on diverse projects that ranged from studio recordings to live performances.

Beyond my academic and professional experiences, I have been actively involved in cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of music technology. My work includes developing audio plugins, simulating auditory phenomena, and implementing advanced AI models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Transformers for audio applications. These projects have been a testament to my commitment to exploring the frontier of sound and music innovation. I am particularly passionate about the intersection of artificial intelligence and audio, believing that AI has the potential to create new, immersive soundscapes and redefine the way we experience music.

Outside the realm of technology, I am an enthusiastic music performer. As a member of the Tufaan Acapella Team at the University of Miami, I had the opportunity to explore the nuances of vocal harmonies and the joy of collaborative music-making. This experience has been immensely rewarding, allowing me to merge my love for singing with my technical skills in a creative and dynamic environment.

Looking forward, I am excited to continue exploring the intersection of music and technology. My diverse skill set, combined with my deep passion for music, positions me uniquely to contribute to the field. Whether it's through innovative research, cutting-edge audio production, or engaging performances, I am committed to enhancing the way we create and experience music. My ultimate goal is to use my expertise to improve and innovate the sound experience of music and related art forms, offering richer, more immersive auditory experiences for all.
