## code / projects
- Prism  [C++ · edge ML · HTDemucs · Raspberry Pi]  (in progress)
  A standalone box that splits a DJ's track into drums, bass, vocals and other while it plays, and routes each stem through the mixer's FX loop. No laptop, no cloud.
  → https://brodymontag.com/projects/prism
- venture  [Python · LLM agents · Claude API · DeFi]
  An autonomous capital-allocation agent that runs real money unattended across DeFi yield, prediction markets and paper crypto. Built around one question: how much should an agent be allowed to decide on its own?
  → https://brodymontag.com/projects/venture
- superset  [Python · audio ML · DSP · CLI + GUI]
  Rekordbox-compatible DJ setlist optimizer. A librosa/Essentia pipeline extracts 40+ spectral, timbral, and rhythmic features per track, then KMeans/DBSCAN clustering generates flow-optimized sets with a CustomTkinter GUI.
  → https://brodymontag.com/projects/superset   ↗ https://github.com/bmontt/superset
- realmbot  [Python · asyncio · decision models · evals]  (in progress)
  A test bed for Jev-style decision-making systems: a headless game client where the model only picks a tactical mode, and every call falls back to a heuristic policy on a timeout, low confidence or an outage.
  → https://brodymontag.com/projects/realmbot
- brodymontag.com  [TypeScript · three.js / R3F · GLSL · GSAP]
  This site: a laser stage rendered as ASCII through a custom GLSL glyph pass over a three.js scene, with a CPU twin in a worker for devices without 3D, and a scroll-driven journey through both halves.
  → https://brodymontag.com/projects/brodymontag-com   ↗ https://github.com/bmontt/brodymontag-site
- here comes the kicker  [JavaScript · three.js · C# / Unity · game design]  (in progress)
  3D kickball, first in the browser with three.js and no build step, now ported to Unity: pitches that roll and bounce, held-power throws, positional defense with difficulty levels.
  → https://brodymontag.com/projects/here-comes-the-kicker
- agent-forge  [Python · Claude Code · multi-agent · evals]
  One canonical library of agent prompts, built into variants for Claude Code and VS Code from shared blocks, with an eval and observability layer: the fleet behind most of these projects.
  → https://brodymontag.com/projects/agent-forge
- Peak_Finding_Toolbox  [Python · EEG · HRTF · signal processing]
  Research-grade peak detector for auditory signals. Handles ABR clinical wave I–V annotation, HRTF/SOFA-format spatial audio files, and general audio onset detection with configurable thresholding.

## about
I grew up in New Jersey splitting time between making things and performing them — two halves that never felt separate. Before I wrote a line of code I was a competitive ice hockey player and a classically trained musician: piano, oboe, viola, drums. What held my attention was always the building, whether the result was a song, a system, or a set.

I started producing at ten on GarageBand and moved to FL Studio two years later. Early on I made rap and hip-hop beats for local artists; then dance music reorganized how I heard everything. Now I produce and DJ as Monty (US) — warm basslines, crisp percussion, a UK- and minimal-leaning take on house and tech house — and I've opened and closed for artists I grew up listening to across DC, Baltimore, and New York. In 2026 that became a residency at Transmission, a first headline night in Brooklyn, and both ends of the night at Echostage.

I studied Computer Science at the University of Maryland, where I gravitated toward audio engineering, signal processing, and machine learning — including senior research on auditory signal processing at UMD's Perceptual Interfaces & Reality Lab. Today I'm a full-stack developer in Fiserv's Global Business Solutions group, building an enterprise payments developer portal and the AI tooling behind it. A lot of what I build starts with the music. Most projects I take on solve a problem I have as an artist — a setlist optimizer, audio-analysis pipelines, the tooling that runs my own workflow.

With two close friends I co-founded PB&J Sounds <https://pbandjsounds.com>, an East Coast collective and label built around underground house, and I hold a residency with Beatprint <https://www.instagram.com/beatprint__> at Transmission DC. My investment is in the grassroots side of this scene — small rooms, real crowds, music you have to dig for — and in owning the whole stack that supports it, from the label's website to the software that prepares my sets.

Lately my focus has been making agentic AI trustworthy: at work, a governed multi-agent delivery platform where independent AI review runs before a human sees the code and a human approves every merge; at home, models on my own hardware and small fleets of agents, with the architecture written down before the code. I work for craft, rigor, and ownership — understanding something well enough to build it myself, and building it well enough to trust it on stage or in production.

Right now, music is the priority. Production is the work that compounds — it drives the long-term growth and the bookings that follow — so most of my creative energy lives in the studio and the next room I'm trying to play. The direction I care most about pulls both halves together: machine learning and signal processing applied to sound — deep learning, on-device and edge models, the territory companies like Dolby, Bose, and Sony work in — aimed at live performance and the tools producers use to make records. I want to build the instruments and systems that change how DJs play and how records get made. The engineering and the music were never two separate careers to me. They're one practice: the code serves the sets, and the sets inform the code.
