SecureMaestro

• Secure, automated practice tools for musicians — inspired by Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and engineered with AppSec principles.
• Blending music and security, SecureMaestro is a side project where I’m experimenting with audio libraries (pydub, librosa, spleeter, etc.) while also building in secure coding habits from the start. Half portfolio, half “let's see how this goes.”

Features (planned + in progress)

• Practice Looper
  Paste a YouTube link, choose a section, and loop it at slower tempos (50%, 70%, 90%).
  Tech: pydub + ffmpeg

• TempoMap
  Compare two performances (Karajan vs. a student orchestra) → plot where tempos drift.
  Tech: librosa, matplotlib

• Orchestra Splitter
  Isolate or mute specific instruments (e.g. violin vs. continuo) for practice.
  Tech: spleeter, demucs

• Performance Health Check
  Upload your own practice → get feedback on timing, intonation, dynamics vs. a reference.
  Tech: DTW, pitch detection

• Concert Metadata Collector
  Pull composer/conductor/year info from YouTube and auto-generate a clean reference card.

Security Notes

Since this doubles as an AppSec learning exercise, I’m baking in security from the start:

• Sandbox + malware scan on uploads
• Input validation / rate limiting on external APIs
• Static analysis with Bandit + Semgrep
• CI/CD checks with GitHub Actions + CodeQL

---

Roadmap (rough sketch)

• Scaffold repo + secure Python setup
• MVP of Practice Looper
• Add Bandit + Semgrep scanning
• Build TempoMap visualizations
• Orchestra Splitter prototype
• Secure upload pipeline (sandbox + scan)
• Architecture diagram + notes

Why this exists

I wanted to:

• Blend two weirdly specific interests (music + AppSec).
• Learn audio processing libraries.
• Show that even small/fun projects can be built with security in mind.

Also: the name SecureMaestro was too good not to run with.

Notes

This README & repo will evolve once I actually get code in — right now it’s mostly a working sketch.
