Self-taught embedded developer with a strong focus on C++, ESP32, MIDI and synthesis. Creator of the MIDI Goblin, a fully custom device which does quite a few MIDI things. The original MIDI Goblin can also be modded, adding audio output and compatibility with a completely built-from-scratch, 5 voice polyphonic synthesizer firmware called “Pingler” - a small run of MIDI Goblin’s with audio output is also currently in production.

In the recent past, I have worked professionally as an illustrator and graphic designer for musicians/small businesses creating merchandise, mural designs and album artwork.

I’ve also worked professionally as a layout designer for Nikelodeon’s “Zokie of Planet Ruby” drawing many complex backgrounds. If you are interested in my visual art, check out my other website here

For many years in my spare time I’ve enjoyed working on small Arduino projects and playing my favorite synthesizer - the Yamaha reface CS.

The CS is a great synth with quite a few limitations. One day I realized it was possible to create my own device to overcome these limitations and MIDI Goblin was born…now the Goblin is it’s own synth - neat!

I could be considered a generalist and am very interested in exploring a career in embedded systems, preferably in the synthesizer industry.
