Cellist -> Engineer

hi ethan, i first discovered your video A Cello Rondo when i was probably in high school (i watched it many times), and recently came across your name when checking out analog obsession's new MoMa plugin, which i'm sure you are aware of. 

i got a doctorate in cello at the New England Conservatory, and played professionally until covid, when i learned how to code. i now work as a software engineer; and since i don't play cello anymore, audio engineering has become my new musical outlet. 

for several years i was mixing live sound (semi professionally), and learning about acoustics by hearing how sound reflects around large rooms. now i'm getting more into "studio" mixing, aka finding stems online and mixing them in logic, mostly with analog obsession plugins, and i also purchased fab filter's pro-q 3.

i wanted to post here on your forum, because i'm not too sure how many of us there are out there (cellists/audio engineers/software engineers). maybe i'll find more on this forum. thanks for your hard work.
