Welcome to my webpage! You can call me Nico. I'm a programmer with a BS
in Computer Science and an MSc in Digital Signal Processing (DSP). I'm always looking
to improve my abilities as a programmer and help other people refine their
processes.
After undergrad I was working odd jobs and discovered the world of audio programming.
I've played piano for 20 years and have always been passionate about music. After
taking an online course for audio programming, I was eager to learn more which led
to my pursuit for a MSc in DSP.
Although my interest mainly lies in the audio domain, I'm happy to help
others refine their processes in other areas. Take a look below to see some
projects I've worked on. Additionally, take a look at my personal projects
and don't hesitate to reach out!
Level Up Subs
Level Up Subs is a dealer for PSA grading. Their goal was to allow
their customers to view the grading process as well as the grades from
PSA's website. PSA doesn't offer a robust API to get this information so
I was tasked with figuring out a work around.
Technologies used: Shopify, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Python, Github Actions,
Bash scripting, FTP Server, Cron job, API calls
Minimal Audio
I worked for a company called Minimal Audio on a MIDI engine for
an unreleased synthesizer plugin. This was my first time working
with other developers and I learned a lot. It took a while to
learn the codebase and adjust to working with others but I'm grateful
for the opportunity to work with such an awesome team. I love their products
and I'm excited to see my code in production.
Technologies used: C++, JUCE, Slack, Figma, PluginDoctor, MIDI, Pluginval
Bubbie Was Chubbie
A fitness coach reached out to me to create a desktop application that
was able to take user input and generate a PDF based on the input. I worked
closely with the client to make sure in understood the necessary calculations
that the program would do to create a fitness goal for his clients.
Technologies used: C#, Windows Forms, iText PDF, Vistual Studio, Inno Installer
Everybody Edits TAS client
Everybody Edits was an online platformer Flash game. The game is currently
dead due to Flash support ending. However, their is a small community that
still plays the game with an offline client. I was approached by an individual
to create a Tool Assisted Speedrun (TAS) client for the offline version.
Technologies used: ActionScript3

pfluemer: a client wanted to convert a Max/MSP patch to
a JUCE plugin. I was able to reverse engineer the patch
and create the plugin. This was done pre RNBO release so
I wasn't able to "export" the code from Max/MSP.
Technologies used: C++, JUCE, Max/MSP

rebuild the website using archived copies on the Wayback Machine. Technologies used: HTML/CSS, JavaScript, NameCheap
