Kevin Cozart

C++ Software Engineer | U.S. Marine Corps Veteran
Building high-performance C++ software focused on audio, graphics, and optimization.

👋 Hi there! I'm Kevin Cozart, a C++ Software Engineer with a strong background in IT Systems Administration. With 10 years of IT experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I specialize in building efficient, scalable software solutions. I thrive on tackling new challenges, especially in graphics programming, real-time audio development, and performance optimization.

What I Offer

  • Software Development Expertise: Combining 10 years of IT Systems Administration experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I deliver efficient and robust software solutions.
  • C++ and Performance Optimization: Skilled in C++ and frameworks like JUCE, focusing on optimizing performance and scalability across diverse applications.
  • Audio and Graphics Programming: Experienced in real-time audio processing and advanced graphics techniques using tools such as OpenGL, JUCE, and Unity.

Highlighted Projects

ToneCascade

  • Repository: ToneCascade
  • Technologies: C++, JUCE, OpenGL, GLSL, OpenMP, OpenACC, MPI (optional), CMake, PowerShell
  • Overview: ToneCascade is a production-ready, high-performance real-time audio visualizer and DSP engine developed in modern C++. It captures live or pre-recorded audio using JUCE, performs FFT-based frequency analysis, and renders dynamic visuals with OpenGL and GLSL shaders. The project leverages OpenMP for multithreaded processing, with optional OpenACC and MPI support for GPU acceleration and distributed computing. Demonstrates expertise in low-latency audio systems, parallel computing, real-time graphics, and cross-platform DevOps automation.
