Hi, I am Joel de Guzman. I am a software engineer at BoostPro Computing specializing in advanced C++ and focused on the Boost libraries, a peer-reviewed, open source, collaborative development effort. I am an artist and a craftsman by heart and the C++ libraries I create reflect this inherent artistic desire.
These pages show the other side of me. I have been writing software since the mid 80s, but long before my first program, I got into building electric guitars, amplifiers and effects processors. I have been building electric/electronic musical instruments and effects processors for 30 years now. As much as I love software development, it is the passion for Music that has driven me to become a software developer. Almost immediately after teaching myself electronics, I began to realize that, slowly, software is encroaching into and somehow engulfing my world of Music.
Cycle of Fifths. A structure used by music theorists to depict the harmonic relationships among the twelve notes in the chromatic scale as a tool for composition.
