Programming

“If you’re not slightly embarrassed to sing the lyrics, you’re probably not writing a good song” - Isaac Brock, frontman of Modest Mouse.

I would say the same applies to coding projects. Although the opposite is generally not true…

Open, reproducible science

I am committed to open science research, I think it is the correct way to go. I make code available whenever I can.

Some projects I have carried out in my free time

Here I will showcase some of my GitHub projects, briefly explaining what I attempted in each of them and why.

	Markovian guitar tab generator After knowing of the possibility to automatically generate semi-coherent text using pre-trained Markovian chains, I decided to apply the same ideas to music (guitar tablatures in particular), with a very rudimentary tablature generator trained with .gp5 files. Furthermore, I designed a couple of memory-aware versions, to account for higher level musical structures. Tablature generator from random walks on .gp5-trained Markov chains.	Python, Markov chains, Guitar tabs	Improvable
	Music name generator I decided to put into practice what I learnt after some Deep Learning courses, specifically in regards to Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cells. I trained an RNN with a huge list of musician names in order for it to generate more, letter by letter. Recurrent Neural Network trained on a database of musician names to generate another one, letter by letter.	Python, Keras, RNN, LSTM	Improvable
	Cryptocurrency summary For a while now I have been interested in the blockchain, and I acquired a bunch of cryptocurrencies (small amounts, I am not rich yet). In order to keep track of them, I created a simple Python script querying a local database to fetch the cryptocoins to then convert them to their euro value. Simple Python script querying a local database to fetch cryptocurrency values.	MySQL, Python, HTTP requests	Improvable
	Audiowaves Some time ago I planned starting a podcast, and I enjoyed the idea of designing a script for podcasters, which would translate audio waves to different possible images or gifs, each with a unique style, out of the waves themselves or their frequency spectra. Script translating audio files to images or gifs of the audio waves or their spectra.	Python, spectrum analysis, Matplotlib	Stale
	Physics simulations I carried out this project long time ago, for many reasons, including learning about differential equations solvers in Python, and for my personal interest and curiosity. Monte Carlo and differential equation simulators for physical systems.	Python, SciPy, Matplotlib	Waiting for inspiration
	Thunderbird to CSV During my first job as a programmer at the UAM's cluster, I was requested to develop a utility which automatically wrote a spreadsheet with information about all servers in the cluster, parsed from the email files received with the Thunderbird email client. Parser developed when I was at the UAM, to automatically fill in a CSV from Thunderbird emails.	Python, OOP, Thunderbird, CSV	Finished
	MP3 Organizer This was one of my first GitHub projects, a utility I wrote for myself, in order to automatically organize .mp3 and .flac files in my computer into different subfolders, based on the artist's name. Utility to automatically move .mp3 and .flac files to their corresponding folder.	Bash, Linux, ShellScript	Finished
