What makes me me?

The musician and the engineer are two parts that make me who I am. These parts require a creative and inquisitive mind, and an enthusiasm for collaboration. I am someone that will work with you to write arrangements, play parts for recording sessions, or provide feedback on what you have written yourself. Perspective matters.

My approach, even as a musician, is to apply an Agile Software Development philosophy. To me this means being collaborative and responsive to change. For example, I want you to hear in progress drafts of arrangements to provide feedback as I write them. This iterative approach allows everyone to know the direction that a piece of music is taking as early as possible. The result is that you get the music that you want sooner.
