Assisting customers with use of Audio Weaver, DSP Concepts' graphical tool for creating digital signal processing algorithms for embedded audio.Assisting third party IP vendors to integrate their algorithms with Audio Weaver.Developing customer facing and internal documentation on the use of Audio Weaver.

SpinCAD Designer is an open-source multi-platform CAD software tool which lets you easily develop audio effects algorithms for the Spin FV-1 DSP chip by connecting blocks on a GUI rather than writing code. It is available at Github (see links below). I based it on Andrew Kilpatrick's "ElmGen" Java library which simulates the internal operation of the FV-1 and provides a bridge between the features of Java and the FV-1 instruction set.Some of my customers include:Tonewood Amp - add effects to any acoustic guitar - http://www.tonewoodamp.com/Erica Synths - Top quality Eurorack synth modules made in Latvia! http://ericasynths.lv

remot3.it’s mission is to become the “DNS” for the Internet of Things and provide the software and services necessary to securely connect devices across the Internet. See https://remot3.it

I was the Scrum Master working with a team of around 10 engineers and testers developing firmware to operate flow cytometers. A flow cytometer is a fabulously complex device that uses lasers, advanced fluidics, and real-time data compensation to perform analysis of blood to diagnose and monitor the treatment of diseases such as AIDS, leukemia, and lymphoma.

• Drove product development from first prototypes to manufacturing release of more than a dozen hardware variations.• Managed software releases (desktop, firmware, and mobile) and beta programs.• Managed weekly priorities of application software and embedded firmware development teams located in India and Russia.• Customer interface for OEM development programs.• Led cross-functional teams to generate, review and approve functional specifications, schedules, test plans, support center training, web and manufacturing releases.• Reviewed end user documentation• Answered web FAQ and forum customer support issues.• Bridged the gap between support and development engineering.• Managed hardware development consultants to deliver first prototypes.• Evaluated, recommended, administered and evangelized project management processes (WordPress, Bugzilla, Trac Wiki, MS Project Server, engineering web site, issue tracking, escalations).• Brought up first prototypes at Singapore based CM and cost-reduced design.• Served as GPL Compliance officer.
