About me

Welcome to my place!

My name is Juan Vuletich. I live with my family in Buenos Aires, Argentina. My main interests are Smalltalk programming, Signal Processing and Music.

I hold a Ms. Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Buenos Aires. I specialized in Image and Signal Processing. My thesis “New bases for music processing in the time-frequency domain” is about a new representation for digitized music, akin to wavelet transforms, and useful for many manipulations that “sound good”. You can read more at Research.

I'm a member of the Squeak open source Smalltalk community. My contributions there include the port to the OS/2 Operating System, the PhotoSqueak image processing framework, the JPEG reader, the separation of Morphic in 3 packages: Morphic, MorphicExtras and Etoys, and some writing here and there. I have some stuff that is waiting to be published, including the extraction of the Numeric Linear Algebra and Statistics from PhotoSqueak, and various enhancements to the music synths, including a library of orchestral sounds.

I’ve been programming since I was 14, and doing it for a living since I was 18. Since 1997 I’ve only programmed in Smalltalk, with just a few excursions to C and Java for support to Smalltalk environments, and some machine code for low level fun. I’ve had the incredible honor of joining Alan Kay's Squeak Central team at Walt Disney Imagineering for an internship. I also worked at IBM, Telecom Argentina and several smaller companies. 

 I’m researcher at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Buenos Aires. I’m doing further work along the lines of my thesis and publications.

 I helped organize the Buena Señal group, a place for talking about digital signal processing in Spanish.
