MLOPs|Data Engineer 1. Generative Music & Audio Models: Spearheaded the research, development, and scaling of proprietary generative music models, including Hydra II, focusing on advanced audio synthesis, model architecture optimization, and high-fidelity output. 2. Neural Compression Engine (Sunalink): Architected and optimized Sunalink, a cutting-edge neural compression engine that reduced client audio storage footprints by 40x while ensuring sub-30-second retrieval times via efficient latent representation and decoding. 3. Automated DAW & Event-Driven Pipelines: Designed and implemented event-driven audio processing pipelines integrating automated Digital Audio Workstations (such as REAPER) with real-time message brokers like Redis, automating complex multi-track rendering, stem generation, and batch workflows at scale. 4. Infrastructure & Production ML: Bridged the gap between research and production by deploying high-throughput audio AI models and compression pipelines into robust, low-latency production environments.
