Engineer, musician, and curious mind - hi, I’m Fernando!
I’m pursuing an MSc in Sound & Music Computing at Universitat Pompeu Fabra’s Music Technology Group (Barcelona), exploring the intersection of audio, music, technology, and AI. My work blends research, engineering, and creativity.
Some highlights from my journey:
- Dolby Laboratories — Software Engineering Intern: contributed to C++ audio libraries, DSP pipelines, and prototyped ML-driven sound analysis tools.
- Audio Developer — At Ear Candy Technologies and MTG, built audio plug‑ins with the JUCE Framework, implemented CI/CD pipelines, and handled DevOps for audio software.
- Open-source — Lead developer of essentia‑plugins, a real-time audio analysis toolkit using JUCE and Essentia.
- Data Engineering — Designed ETL processes, databases, APIs, and deployed ML models into production.
- Community — Speaker at Audio Developer Conference 2024: Rock-Solid Releases on CI/CD for audio developers. Contributor to several initiatives from The Sound of AI with Valerio Velardo.
