Leon Chisholm Email & Phone Number

I have a multi-disciplinary background in tech, music, and the humanities. Currently I work at CoLab Software as a software developer working the core features of this web-based app. The tech that I interact with regularly includes React, Typescript, Cypress, Storybook, Webpack, GraphQL, Python (flask), AWS, Datadog. I also work extensively with the APIs of third-party integrations.My community work focusses on two areas: 1) advocacy for people of marginalized gender, particularly trans and gender diverse people, and 2) diversity and innovation in music and academia. I'm chair of the committee of the American Musicological Society that administers funds for independent scholars. I co-chair the DEI committee of the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies. I'm secretary of the Tuckamore Music Festival in St. John's, NL. And I'm a board member for Trans Support NL, where I also volunteer as a peer support group facilitator.Prior to transitioning into tech, I was a historian specializing in the intersection of music and technology in Europe, 1500-1900. I've taught music and media studies at Harvard University, the Humboldt University of Berlin, and the University of California, Berkeley, where I was also Assistant Director of the University Chorus. I've also worked as a research fellow at Columbia University, the Deutsches Museum (Munich), the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Berlin), and other leading universities and research institutes.
