Summary
Joseph Shearer is a programmer and RIT computer science student with 13 years of practical experience building interactive systems that bridge hardware and software. He has delivered field biology web tools and reactive data visualizations for ecological research while also engineering low-level control and web interfaces for a computer-controlled harpsichord that records and replays high-resolution performance data. Comfortable across client-side JavaScript, backend APIs, and embedded control loops, he enjoys turning code into real-world effects—especially where sensors and actuators meet expressive interfaces. Based in Rochester, NY, Joseph combines research-minded experimentation (indoor Wi‑Fi tracking, presence-detecting art) with production-facing tooling and custom build systems, aiming to make software feel a bit like magic.
