Hello, I'm Rae.

Computer Scientist & Music Designer specializing in the intersection of technology and art

About Me

Hello, I go by Rae, Rachel, or Ri! I am an Honors Dean's List student at Northeastern majoring in Combined Computer Science & Music with a Concentration in Music Technology & Minor in Mechanical Engineering.

I love exploring where software, music, and engineering intersect, especially in the realm of video games, from game programming, to soundtrack composition, to AR/VR immersion, to audio hardware, to performance technology, to asset modeling, to more. Games changed my life as a child for better, and I want to pay it forward with my career.

I am experienced with software development, game programming, music design, and more, all showcased on this website. Currently, I am searching for co-op and/or internship positions for Spring & Summer 2025, so please feel free to reach out about anything, and take your time exploring the website — you might find a hidden easter egg!

Fun Fact: I have perfect pitch! Test me if we meet — I love guessing notes and chords.
