About
Hi, I'm Maverick. I'm currently working on autonomous vessel data ingestion and parsing at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, and have previously worked at The Center for Psychadelic & Consciousness Research at Johns Hopkins University. In the past, I led developers at Quest2Learn and worked at multiple startups: WiseCities, PactSpace, VisualScore.
I am completing my MS in Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I primarily study Agentic Systems and Data Engineering: Graph Neural Networks, Cloud Computing, and Data Mining.
I recieved my BS in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, where I primarily studied Data Science and Software Engineering.
I'm also a self-learned music producer, and I like to make beats and remixes with friends on FL-Studio in my spare time. I am currently in the process of mastering my midi keyboard using Melodics and am in the process of learning guitar. In the future I want to create my own VST effect plugins for my beats.
Oh, I also love to tinker! I have dabbled with vocal mixing & mastering, sound design, and creating synth patches with plug data. Feel free to reach out if you have any creative music ideas you would want to work on. I am very interested in finding ways to apply my computer science skills to creative disciplines! I also am available for personal inquiries via Fiverr. I create and design websites (Javascript + Wireframes), Music Production (Beats + Vocals Mixing, Mastering), and Sound design (Drumkits, Instrument patches).
Some of my other interests include calisthenics + weight lifting, cooking, note-taking systems, biking, and creative coding.
