I create Audio DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms and solutions that create value for and empower the people that use them across industries including music production, mobile audio/telecommunications, and hearing health from the web to desktop to mobile and ultra-low power embedded platforms. I also enjoy and have great appreciation for the benefits of working with customers directly to solve problems and improve project and product outcomes. I am very fortunate to love what I do professionally outside of work as well. In fact, that's often where I do my best work.My work has been found in consumer devices including smartphones (a patented algorithm that adaptively optimized audio quality based on position and seal of a device relative to ear, highlighted on an episode of Daily Planet), mobile audio apps, hearing aids marketed and sold by a wide range of companies (adaptive algorithms running on ultra-low power multi-core DSPs), audiology fitting software (electro-acoustic modelling), professional audio software and plugins, and has been used by a few folks making music around the world, powering more than 1.5 million tracks along the way (MajorDecibel instant mastering, initiated in my spare time as a free service for musicians).My background is in Electrical Engineering but today I work primarily with audio software and firmware (and sometimes hardware). I'm comfortable deriving necessary equations from first principles, MATLAB simulations, C/C++, and even fixed-point math implemented in assembly (having also defined and implemented fixed-point audio DSP libraries). I've also acquired some front and back-end web experience, bare metal server deployment and management, as well as some UI/UX graphical design and development experience where it was useful or important to understand. I have significant hands-on experience performing electro-acoustic measurements using professional equipment in acoustically controlled labs. I have a strong understanding of acoustic principles, psychoacoustics, and hearing science. I am capable of operating with a high degree of autonomy, but appreciate and value the benefits of working within a team.Proud father to two incredible kids that continue to amaze me every day—the most important things to me. I believe in making the most of life, family, and being good to each other. I am extremely grateful for the professional opportunities I've had and the lessons I've learned along the way. I try to learn from my mistakes and be kind.
