Brian Pak

Coming from 7 years of studying cello performance, I began my path to a career in software development when I decided to pursue a degree in computer science in late 2021. I often found myself in rabbit holes at the time trying to figure out how metronome apps worked, and I wanted to try my hand in replicating these apps. I've since had the wonderful opportunity to expand on this passion at both my school and in the industry.

My main commitments these days revolve around leading music technology projects at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I'm also exploring machine learning in preparation of adding AI-driven features to my own personal projects.

When I'm not at the computer, you'll find me learning new recipes in the kitchen, cafe-hopping with friends, or exploring the area around me.
