About Me
Daksh Kaul
Computer Science Student & Developer
Creator of Project Resonator
Introduction
I am a Computer Science student at Rutgers University with a passion for full-stack development, digital signal processing, and quantum computing research. My work spans from building real-time DSP engines and full-stack applications to independent research in audio compression algorithms. I thrive on solving complex problems and enjoy creating tools that are both efficient and user-focused, with a focus on low-latency systems and performance optimization.
I believe that the beauty of code is often in its simplicity. If an application/service/website can deliver its information to the user in the fastest and simplest way possible, without any 'fuzz' or 'fluff' that may make the spreading of information harder or long-winded, it's truly a wonderful creation.

Current Projects
Project Resonator
Project Resonator
An open-source IEM (In-Ear Monitor) project that provides all the resources (shell design, crossover/PCB, driver selection, measurements) required to DIY your IEM from scratch. The goal is to provide a central hub of measurements, knowledge, and techniques to help the community build high-quality IEMs themselves.
