Summary
Fred Rodrigues is an interdisciplinary audio-visual technician, creative technologist, and AI researcher with over a decade of hands-on experience delivering complex real-time media systems for galleries, festivals, and live events. Holding a PhD in machine learning and sound, he blends deep technical skills (C++, Python, JavaScript, embedded systems) with a strong creative practice in generative media, VR/AR and motion capture. Fred has led international teams and built bespoke show-control and media pipelines that perform reliably in mission-critical situations, from IMAG workflows to multi-modal computer-vision installations. He teaches postgraduate creative coding and tutors at the University of Sydney, translating research into practical systems and workshops.
