Designing next generation Digital Audio and Video products and technologies including QuickTime, and CoreVideo

I design and teach digital media (audio, video, compresion) courses.

I created the Audio Anecdotes series of books, an interdisciplinary collaboration between experts across the fields of computer engineering, signal processing, sound design, music, health studies, and more. Articles include audio, video, and program examples with working, cross-platform source code as well as an annotated list of references for the reader to dig deeper. Please learn more about the project at: http://audioanecdotes.com

Was recruited by Microsoft Research's advanced technologies group to work on Jim Kajiya's Talisman Graphics Architecture. Our project, Appelles, is a functional language based media description language and animation engine. I was responsible for Appelles' digital media (audio, video and realtime) capabilities. We productized and released Appelles as Direct Animation which has shipped with every Internet Explorer and Microsoft Operating system release since Windows 98 2nd Edition including Windows XP.

I worked for SGI's ASD (Advanced System's Division), home of SGI's big iron multiprocessor machines and the fastest computer graphics and also ESD (Entry System's Division + other colorful names) home of the Personal Iris, Indigo, Indy and much of the system software. At SGI I helped conceive and create the digital media systems SGI has been known for including the AL.I contributed toward the following products and systems: VGX, Reality Engine, Indigo, Indy, Video Creator, Broadcast Video Option, Video Framer, Video Lab, Cosmo Compress, Digital Media Library, AL audio library, IRIS GL graphics library, Flame non-linear editor, and Vigra Audio.

I this tiny company I wore many hats, created custom embedded programming tools, aided in the design of digital hardware, helped troubleshoot hardware, was repsonsible for the UNIX based development tools, networking and email.
