Music producer · creative technologist · data scientist — Valencia, Spain
I didn't come up through a conservatory or a computer-science program — I came up through music production and public policy. I've been producing since 2013, spent the better part of a decade in data (a UCLA Master of Public Policy, the World Bank, NORC at the University of Chicago, Rios Partners), and in 2025 finished an M.M. in Music Production, Technology & Innovation at Berklee College of Music in Valencia. Now I build tools where music, data, and software meet.

Built on the Ableton Extensions SDK (TypeScript):

- Track Doctor — clean up messy sets with smart, reviewable track renames
- Arrangement Architect — turn Session View sketches into section-by-section song blueprints
- Live Console — a command-palette workflow utility, inspired by REAPER's ReaConsole
Generative harmony (AutoHarm, the Autoharmonizer Max patch), a citation-backed world rhythm atlas, and browser-based rhythm and harmony tools that stay in sync — all at zachscheffler.com.
My work sits at the intersection of music technology, data analysis, and computational modeling.
