Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSara Adkins is an AI music technologist and machine learning engineer with 11 years of experience blending music performance and production-grade ML systems. She currently builds generative music tools at Suno and previously shipped high-performance LLM inference software at Neural Magic while also designing real-time generative engines used by hundreds of Twitch streamers. A Fulbright-funded MS in Sound and Music Computing underpins her research on steerable Transformer-XL models that generate loopable musical phrases—work that earned an Outstanding Student Award at EvoMUSART. At Bose she bridged research and product, optimizing speech-enhancement models to run on embedded devices and leading generative audio projects that produced patents and prototypes. Equally at home onstage live-coding with Tidal Cycles and looping electric guitar, she focuses on human-AI improvisation and timbre synthesis, bringing performer-first constraints to algorithm design. Notably, she has practical experience translating SOTA sparsification and quantization research into production-ready inference stacks.
