A program for visualizing musical harmonic analysis

First Contact

Hello! My name is Melody Griesen. I'm currently a Software Engineer at Genesys.

I'm currently not looking for work.

My resume can be found in this repository.

I'm currently very excited about a new music/programming passion project: Harmonimation, a program for rendering music harmonic analysis.

Interests

My main technical passions are microservices and process automation and organization (DevOps).

I also enjoy teaching and mentoring.

In my personal life, I enjoy:

• arranging and performing music
• watching and playing board games and Dungeons and Dragons
• exploring programming projects and following others' programming content

Previous experience

Current activities

As of Spring 2023, I'm currently:

• Working full-time as a Software Engineer at Genesys
  • I've done a few collab projects with SRE and DevOps at this point
  • Soon I'll be owning some new feature work
  • Previously I've spent months cleaning up tech debt & streamlining team processes
• Starting development on a passion project: Harmonimation, a program for rendering music harmonic analysis.
• Mentoring a NCSU Senior Design team (MyDigitalHand v2.0)
  • Helping to implement Shibboleth/SAML authentication in a Dockerized environment
  • Technical advising to help the team find direction
  • Hoping to transition the application into an open-source tool for academia
• Keeping up with some open-source projects, looking for time to contribute:
  • Rosie Pattern Language, a "better regex" search / match tool
  • Godot, a new game engine
  • Jackson, one of the best JSON libraries for Java
• Continuing development on my passion project game, Gaberbocchus (in Godot)

Future plans

I intend to continue my career as a Software Engineer, applying creative and detail-oriented problem solving to complex challenges.

Other niche interests:

• git
• pattern matching / parsing / searching
• data pipelines
• security

My ideal long-term position would either be:

• A DevOps engineer/consultant developing tools to simplify and accelerate the development process
• A teaching professor educating students and developing solutions for large-scale course administration
