I took this course last year and it had a lasting impact on how I approach my solo stuff in particular, hard recommend 🤌

So I've been notified that my role is at risk. Would anybody like to hire a me.
I've spent the last 7 years as chief architect, which realistically meant doing every job from infrastructure to product and occasionally acting CTO.
I am interested in everything, and curious to try new things.

Pics of work in prog on an effects unit based on the Bela platform bela.io
I wanted a device that gives me fine control of effects parameters without needing to take my hand off the saxophone, so I built this prototype with a Bela mini, a Retex enclosure and some touch sensors (operated by foot!)
