During a contract engagement with Synclavier Digital, I contributed to firmware-level and product-system work for the Synclavier Regen: a modern desktop synthesizer platform built around deep digital synthesis, sampling, effects, MIDI integration, and musician-facing hardware interaction.
My role sat between engineering analysis and musical usability: understanding an established product environment, improving specific workflows, and helping translate complex synthesis behavior into clearer interaction for musicians.

I conducted a largely self-directed analysis of an existing firmware and software environment with limited structured onboarding and evolving engineering priorities.
The work required building practical understanding across interconnected subsystems, existing product behavior, musician-facing controls, and the constraints of a production hardware/software instrument.
I contributed user-facing improvements around oscillator editing and modulation interaction.
The objective was not to simplify the instrument’s synthesis depth, but to make important workflows clearer, more responsive, and easier to navigate during sound design.
I developed improvements to MIDI clock architecture and timing behavior.
This work required treating timing as a product-level concern: reliable enough for real musicians, real sequencers, and real performance workflows rather than merely correct in isolation.
I contributed to delay-system implementations spanning both digital and analog-style behaviors.
The work involved balancing musical expectation, interface behavior, and the technical realities of an instrument designed for detailed sound design and live use.
I participated in product demonstrations and investor-facing showcases, helping communicate the instrument’s capabilities in practical musical terms.
