ABOUT

I'm Kevin. My main interests are


I studied Computer Science at UC Berkeley. I'm from San Diego, CA and I'm currently based in NYC. 

Code

System-wide parametric equalizer for Linux. Follows the design principles of equalizers found in production DAWs. Made the front page of Hacker News. 

Brave released a partially complete version of Speedreader in 2018. Due to fundamental issues, the project laid dormant for many years. During my time at Brave, I reimplemented Speedreader V2, which shipped to 50M users in 2021.  

Chromium & Firefox browser extension that adds end-to-end encryption to untrusted chat & social media platforms — Discord, Slack, Weibo, etc.

While at Berkeley, I spent some time on coursework and most of my time tinkering with the Open Computing Facility's infrastructure. 

wRITING

I occasionally write things. Review my blog in its entirety here.

MUSIC

In high school I spent the majority of my free time producing music. You can listen on my SoundCloud. 

During this time, I studied classical Opera under the inimitable Daniel Hendrick, serving as cantor for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
