Summary
Tore Banta is a software engineer with nine years of experience blending music technology, data science, and geospatial analysis from Anchorage, Alaska. He built data-driven artist/genre recommendation systems and generative radio playlists at Vevo, translating graph analysis into production music features. A Carleton College computer science alumnus, Tore has hands-on research and teaching experience from the Summer CS Institute and practical GIS work at AECOM and his college lab. He combines a collector’s instinct for analog vinyl with a developer’s eye for digital music systems, often bridging signal, spatial, and recommendation domains. Colleagues know him for turning exploratory research prototypes into usable, partially remote production work.
