About

Cameron Summers

For twenty years I've worked in machine learning and signal processing, maintained an active career as a performer and composer, and delved deeply into varied hobbies and projects.

ML + Data Science

Applied machine learning and signal processing for real systems: 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.
