Peter Merrill Email and Phone Number

I'm an technologist, technical contributor, sometimes manager on some high performing, innovative software teams including Photoshop, Acrobat, Lightroom, Camera Raw, and Vibe. My current focus is on applications of deep learning.I invented a technology, now shipping, that condenses a 1-4 hour process of music video creation for social media to 20-30 seconds automatically on IOS. Here's a sample created on my iPhone5: https://vimeo.com/149942416, or https://vimeo.com/149941988.My interests are as a technical contributor and technologist. I want to create great products!In my most recently shipping project, I worked in a small lean startup like environment within Adobe. My focus was on automatic video creation for social media on IOS, targeting Instagram and Facebook. I worked with AVFoundation, and developed automatic music analysis and video creation algorithms. The app is available on the IOS store as Adobe Vibe, and other details are available at www.madewithvibe.comPrior to that I spearheaded Adobe's integration of video into its still photography products, including Lightroom and Photoshop where I had a significant direct technical role.I've had a significant role both managerially and technically in the development of Adobe's two major image processing pipes, Photoshop and Camera Raw, setting them up to scale over multiple OS platforms. Under my stewardship as manager of Adobe Camera Raw, it was transformed from a Photoshop Plug-in into a company wide image processing technology on six platforms, and is now referred to as Adobe's "Company Jewel." As a technical lead, I formulated and implemented Photoshop's original strategy to bring out identical Windows and Mac versions forcing Apple and Intel to compete against one another as the best Photoshop platform.My current work involves using machine learning, deep learning, and deep re-enforcement learning to automate imaging and video workflows.
