There's a little bit of Shaji in all of us!
👋 Hi, I’m @djshaji
👀 I’m interested in Audio Programming / LADSPA / LV2 on Linux / Android, Web dev with LAMP, Python, and Computational Literary Studies.
🌱 I’m currently porting LADSPA / LV2 to Android, and researching computational poetics using natural language processing.
💞️ I’m looking to collaborate on AmpRack and computational stylistics projects.

🔬 Research & Digital Humanities
Beyond software development, I am an academic researcher in Computational Literary Studies and Digital Humanities. My research applies NLP, Transformer models (like BERT and BERTopic), and stylometric analysis to deeply examine literary corpora and English poetry. See also https://shaji.in/research
🎸 Music & Audio
I play the guitar, and write my own songs. I produce my music at my home studio running open source software: Ardour for Recording, Mastering and Post Production, Hydrogen for Drum Programming, and a host of LADSPA and LV2 plugins.
My sound is mostly Rock and Roll, Acoustic and Folk, but I like to experiment a lot with my music, and because of this my songs have a wide variety of overlapping genres.
I love to have melodic layers and harmonies on my guitar tracks, and love to fill tracks for wider stereophonic landscapes. Groovy synths and guitar harmonies, along with (mostly) natural or (sometimes) sequenced bass constitutes my signature sound.
I have recorded two full length albums, and am currently working on my third studio album. Along with this I have recorded some miscellaneous tracks as I fine tune my craft.
