Hey, I'm Daniel. I'm a maker at heart, and I love to build things that improve people's lives.
My interests lie in music, education, and user-respecting software. I'm drawn to creating original things, and I'm obsessed about quality.
Google Summer of Code
In 2024, I got to work on Mixxx DJ under the GSoC program. As a long time Mixxx user, I proposed ideas I had on Harmonic Mixing. I really enjoyed collaborating with my mentors and the whole community, and we look forward to taking harmonic mixing further!
My talk at the Audio Developer Conference in India
