Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHunter Mccurry is a software engineer based in New York with 13 years of experience building music-focused systems and creative tools, currently contributing at Spotify. He blends deep audio and DSP expertise with systems programming in C/C++ and Python, informed by an MA in Computer Music Research from Stanford and dual degrees in TIMARA and Computer Science from Oberlin. Hunter has a long track record of designing interactive audio environments—spanning Max/MSP, CSound, multichannel spatialization, and live sound engineering for theater and concerts—that feed into production-grade music software. His work bridges research and product: algorithmic and non-linear composition techniques inform pragmatic engineering of music information retrieval and audio-visual composition features. Notably, his background as a performing violinist and analog circuit designer gives him a rare performer-engineer perspective when shaping interfaces for musical expression. He is equally comfortable prototyping novel musical interactions and contributing to large-scale audio infrastructure.
