About Me

A portrait of Aiden Carrera

Hey, I’m Aiden. I’m a computer science student in the Oklahoma State University Honors College, based in Tulsa and graduating in December 2026. I build web applications, audio software, AI tools, games, and other interactive experiences.

I began programming in high school with Chasing the Capitals, a multiplayer Java game where players raced to locate US state capitals. It was simple, but it showed me how much I enjoyed turning an idea into software that others could interact with. Today, I focus on software built around strong core ideas, with polished visual design and intuitive interfaces that users can understand without needing everything explained. My favorite part of a project is refining its interactions and small details until it feels complete. I enjoy collaborating because it allows an idea to grow beyond what one person could build alone.

My projects cover a wide range of technologies. Random Webs is an ongoing collection of browser experiments featuring simulations, games, and audio/visual tools. OloEQ combines software and music through a C++ parametric equalizer plugin built with JUCE. From another direction, my AI Piano MIDI Generator uses a trained transformer model to generate jazz piano MIDI.

Music is just as important to me as software. I perform, compose, produce, record, mix, and master my own work. I currently perform with the OSU Jazz Band and Resistance Indoor Percussion. In the summer of 2024, I toured nationally with The Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps, performing in stadiums and competing on DCI’s World Class circuit. At Resistance, I also take on leadership responsibilities, giving performers feedback and working with staff to improve the overall member experience.

Outside of software and music, I enjoy gaming, rock climbing, solving Rubik’s cubes, running, and spending time with friends. I am naturally curious and always eager to learn more and try new things.

After graduating, I am looking for full-time software engineering roles in Oklahoma or fully remote, where I can contribute to meaningful work, learn from experienced developers, and keep growing as an engineer.
