Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulien Bloit is a hands-on CTO and audio software engineer with 11+ years building music-making and music-listening products across mobile, embedded (Raspberry Pi), and live installations. With a PhD from Université Paris VI and a background at IRCAM, he blends rigorous research in audio signal processing with practical engineering—shipping award-winning iOS/Android apps and interactive sound engines for events like Burning Man. He co-founded Humtap and led development at Beatsurfing, guiding teams from prototype to production while remaining deeply involved in code and sound design. Julien’s work spans algorithmic composition, MIR, and physical computing, often repurposing everyday objects into novel musical interfaces. Unusually for a CTO, he keeps a maker’s touch—laser-cutting enclosures, soldering hardware, and even drawing inspiration from animal communication—to inform product creativity and robustness. Based in Brussels, he consults broadly on musical interaction, education, and experiential audio projects.
