Paraphrased from the company mission: "making immersive audio experiences in real-world environments."

Piloting the Audio team through an era of significant growth at Roblox. Identifying rich features for developers and players and building a team of engineers and sound designers accomplish these goals. Coordinating multiple techology paths to create the audio tools for engaging metaverse experiences such as virtual concerts and events.

What started as leading a small team of developers on Dolby's Muse project (Atmos dance music in clubs) turned into coordinating the efforts of several engineers on projects ranging from Atmos Content Creation tools for video games and music to whizzy chunks of perceptual compression code in various encoding chains. Acted as people manager, lead developer, and platform manager guiding the stakeholders through the request and delivery process.

As Dolby took their Atmos multichannel movie sound system to the dance clubs for afully immersive electronic music experience, I was that developer from the DJ worldpiecing the project together. From threading the DJ app audio engine and creatingspatial effects to integrating performance hardware and audio networking, mycontributions ran the gamut.

On NI’s mobile team and DJ development team, I heaped my code contributions onTraktor DJ and iMaschine 2 from product concept all the way through multiple releases.I handled audio and MIDI data flow, UI, multithreading, database management, andinternet connectivity tasks. Throw all your agile software buzzwords here, they apply.

I designed and implemented the user interface, MIDI engine, data management, and bunches of other code for Looptastic Producer (iPhone) and Looptastic HD (iPad), Studio.HD (iPad), Studio.M (iPhone), gruvtron (iPhone, iPad, Android), and meta.DJ (iPad). In the process, I helped develop Sound Trends' multi-product, multi-platform code library (dubbed "STKit") which founds the basis of several products listed above. I have also researched and implemented a number of platform specific interfaces such and OAuth2.0 for secure web sharing, CoreMIDI for synchronization and external controllers, etc. The code was written mostly in C++ with some Objective C (and a little Java) using OpenGL ES and Apple's UIKit.

As a contractor, I developed the iPhone user interface for the Skyfire video enabled mobile web browser. Developed an asynchronous asset manager for the info aggregation segment of the program and manipulated much of the streaming media control. I carried all this over to the iPad version of the product as well.

Co-created 3 children (born 1999 and 2002 (twins)) and provided a nurturing environment for their proper mental and physical development. Tasks included applying health, nutrition, developmental theory, and neurology research to daily activities of toddlers, preschoolers, and grade schoolers as they attempt prune their branch of the family tree.

Filled the roles of Vice President of Operations and Personnel and Secretary of a co-op preschool. Tasks included guiding the school through teacher hirings, financial restructuring, and many other operating issues, documenting proceedings, and communicating with the school community and the community at large.

Co-created and produced the award winning animated cooking show “Deep Fried, Live! with Tako the Octopus”. Tasks included: creative writing, food science research, audio and animation production, interactive and internet programming, project management, and marketing.

Designed and implemented audio systems for video games such as Road Rash, Madden Football, FutureCop: LAPD, Soviet and Nuclear Strikes, and March Madness. Tasks included sound effect and music design, real-time software programming (asm, C, and C++), and project management.

Acted as the technical voice of E-mu's sampled synthesis technology in the fledgling computer multimedia and karaoke industries. Designed and built prototype audio hardware and software, nursed many customers through their productization, interfaced with industry groups to help establish standards.
