Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Ellis is a founder, artist, and software engineer with 11 years of experience building AI-driven audio and XR experiences, currently prototyping audio interactions at Meta and leading the Brooklyn Motion Capture Dance Ensemble. He created the AI-powered music interaction engine sounds.pink and blends classical guitar training with hands-on engineering to rethink how people interact with sound. His background spans production-grade mobile and backend work at Facebook and Audible, research-grade web tooling for biology at UT Austin, and pragmatic product development for enterprise and live experiences. Curious and multidisciplinary, he writes more code than music yet treats both as first-class creative inputs when designing novel musical interfaces.
