Music Systems Engineering

Native Tools for Professional Musician Workflows

Building desktop music software, realtime MIDI infrastructure, and live performance systems engineered for the realities of professional performance and production.

PulseMIDI

Native MIDI Diagnostics & Monitoring for macOS

PulseMIDI is a native macOS application for MIDI signal monitoring, device enumeration, and virtual port routing. Built with Swift and SwiftUI for a native macOS experience, using CoreMIDI for direct MIDI framework access. Targets Apple Silicon and Intel Macs on macOS 12+. Distributed as a standalone application with AudioUnit v3 and CLAP plugin support.

Live Performance System Architecture

Built and operated keyboard rigs for church and live performance teams — patch switching, setlist management, multi-channel MIDI routing, and zero-downtime operation under live stage conditions.

Engineering Philosophy

Music systems operate under the same reliability requirements as production infrastructure — except the user is on stage. Low-latency, crash-resistant, and deterministic under live conditions.
