About

Hi, I'm Federico 👋 I work at the intersection of software, hardware, and sound.

I'm the founder of Morph, where I design and build modular synthesizers — from PCB and control-panel design to embedded DSP in C++, Pure Data, and Max/MSP. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Sound and Music Computing at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, with a thesis on real-time neural style transfer for audio loops.

Alongside music technology, I have years of experience as a full-stack developer specialising in cloud deployments on Azure, using React, Node.js, Next.js, and Python.

🔬 Interests: real-time audio generation, neural sound synthesis, machine learning, music information retrieval, and DSP.
