Summary
Paul Buser is a software engineer with 11 years of experience who blends systems-level engineering with a deep interest in music and interactive art. His work ranges from improving release pipelines and test infrastructure at Google to building audio-focused tools and novel musical interfaces during a 4.0 MA in Music Technology at McGill, where he produced a 75-page thesis and multiple prototypes. He has practical SRE and developer advocacy experience—optimizing Docker builds, reducing binary release times dramatically, and creating developer-facing content—while independently shipping creative projects like a live audiovisual performance tool, a musical clock, and a DAW plugin for color bass music. Based in San Diego, Paul thrives on making complex tools feel simple and treats coding as a creative medium for audience engagement and expressive design.
