Hi, I'm Amari!
I am a recent graduate of the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Science in Music Engineering Technology and a minor in Computer Engineering.
Passionate about digital signal processing and audio software development, I am looking forward to pursuing a career in audio engineering to bring creativity and technical expertise to the audio technology industry!
Experience
Lead Software Developer & Audio ML Researcher
- Exploratory research on vocal analysis and feedback systems for AI training
- Evaluated signal processing tools and approaches to guide feature planning
- Translated research insights into technical specifications and development roadmaps
- Literature review and technical evaluation of voice-to-voice and timbre transfer research
Acoustics Systems Engineering Co-op
- Developed automated MATLAB algorithms for in-vehicle acoustic data acquisition and DSP workflows
- Built test automation frameworks for prototype acoustic system validation and performance analysis
- Troubleshot hardware, software, and connectivity issues across automated measurement systems
- Collaborated with Automotive Audio Team to deliver scalable automation solutions for audio development
Automated in-vehicle acoustic production audits end-to-end, replacing a largely manual process. Solved a timing delay corrupting transfer function measurements by developing a MATLAB impulse-detection sync algorithm. Integrated HATS motor control and Bose acoustic libraries to compute frequency response, THD, phase, and spatial prediction — delivered as a full GUI so engineers could run the entire workflow without touching the command line.
Recording, Sound & Video Engineer
- Operated Yamaha QL1 and QL5 digital consoles to mix and monitor live audio for concerts, recitals, and events
- Patched and routed signals across mixing consoles, video switchers, and playback systems
- Supported live video systems using Blackmagic ATEM and TriCaster platforms
- Connected, tested, and troubleshot audio and video systems; set up and struck full production rigs
- Collaborated with lighting, audio, video, and production teams to ensure smooth show execution
Lighting Engineer
- Programmed and operated Chamsys MagicQ lighting control board for live performances
- Executed load-in, setup, and strike of lighting and stage equipment for live events
- Executed and implemented stage plots, coordinating lighting, audio, and stage layouts
- Coordinated with visiting production crews to meet technical and scheduling requirements
