About

Cameron Summers

I work across machine learning, signal processing, music, and a handful of hands-on projects that keep me curious.

ML + Data Science

Machine learning and signal processing work in bio-signals, acoustics, ecology, and recommendation systems.

Focus areas have included FDA-facing diabetes algorithms, machine learning for the U.S. National Park Service, and music discovery systems used by Apple, Spotify, Google, and Amazon.

Music + Technology

I spent nearly a decade performing in New York and Los Angeles, with work including Broadway national tours, a double Grammy-nominated recording with Hollywood film composer Patrick Williams, performing with Foo Fighters at the Grammy Awards, and performances with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, Ravi Coltrane, and Juliette Lewis. Winner at the National Trumpet Competition, Washington D.C.

Serious Fun

I have a hand-tool woodworking studio in Bentonville — mostly joinery, no power tools. I cook. I spent a semester at Brightwater Culinary School. I'm a certified Arkansas Master Naturalist, which mostly means I spend time in the Ozarks paying close attention. I grew up fly fishing for trout in northern New Mexico and have kept it up for twenty-five years.

Current Focus

These days, most of my work is remote data science, new music through TechTet, and being a dad.
