DENNIS CAO

About

👋 I'm Dennis Cao (曹

), a senior full stack software engineer specializing in TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, and AI / ML Orchestration. Currently I'm at Train Farren, an AI voice fitness startup, architecting a human-in-the-loop AI coach platform for model training and validation. I've also worked at:

Punchup.live, a data-driven comedy ticketing platform serving stand up comedians through data driven analytics, serving half a million users.
MyMCAT.ai, an AI agent / learning platform delivering adaptive study plans and insights to pre-med students.
Amazon, built interactive software showcasing 30 years of innovation.
The Concord Consortium, an open-source team developing complex & interactive platforms & simulations to help students learn data science and STEM.
Built Qie Stem Slicer, desktop application that deconstructs full songs into 8 stems using Demucs / machine learning.
Musician Beck - wrote a custom audio application featured on his album Morning Phase, which went on to win a Grammy for Album of the Year.
Digital Ambiance - software for interactive sound, visual and physical computing installations.

📍 I'm based in Los Angeles, CA. Back in the day I graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering / Digital Signal Processing. I've also worked as a music producer, on an Oscar shortlisted animation - PengLai and making electronic music under the alias Dian Nao Xin. When I'm not working on my computer ... I'm likely still on my computer learning new things, working on personal software & hardware projects, or making music. I also enjoy cooking and hanging out with my cat, Chi Chi (there she is on the right).
