The story

Resonance, end to end.

The problem

A&R is a race to spot momentum early. The signals are public — streams, follows, engagement velocity across platforms — but no one is watching all of them at once.

What I built

A scoring engine that pulls engagement signals across 8+ platforms for thousands of artists and ranks them by momentum. 4,184 artists scored and searchable in one place.

Where it stands

Demoed inside UMG teams. The always-on backend has been archived to free up the machine running it 24/7 — the approach and the findings live here.

Why it matters

Day-job and night-build feeding each other in the open: a personal experiment that became a real conversation starter with the labels I work alongside.
