Hi, I'm Raul Patelsunny.r, a computer scientistmusician!

A Little About Me

I'm a software engineer with experience in many areas of computer science, including computer graphics and scientific visualization, web development, digital signal processing, game development, and parallel processing. I'm a problem solver and a quick learner who can pick up new skills easily.

I've worked as a teaching assistant, instructing first-year computer science students in learning the fundamental aspects of functional and object-oriented programming in Python. I've also worked as a research assistant, working with applying in situ computer graphics techniques to exascale scientific visualizations. Most recently, I've started designing audio plug-ins using JUCE in my freetime for use in my own music.

Through leadership positions as a Finance Senator in the student government and as the Music Director of an internationally renowned a cappella group, I have gained crucial leadership skills. I've had experience collaborating with people and learned how to effectively communicate my point of view while making an effort to understand and consider the viewpoints of others. These are skills that I could bring with me to the work environment. My travel experiences have also taught me to be more open minded and adaptable in any situation, fostering my love for perpetual learning.

I am a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer, and a cappella arranger. I've played guitar since 2010 and have sung extensively, including in choirs and a cappella groups, throughout my life, most recently acting as the Music Director of University of Oregon's On the Rocks, and a singer in the Eugene-based wedding band, Generations. I also make audio plugins on the side!

I release music under the stage name, "sunny.r". You can find my music on all streaming platforms. Contact me if you need songwriting, production, mixing, or a cappella arranging services. If you are around Corvallis, contact me if you're interested in my recording or guitar maintenance services.
