  SVP Software Engineering

  Having spent over a decade at Fxpansion building technology at the birth of the plugin industry, I moved over to Roli and helped in the launching of the blocs and seaboards. After that I moved to Ampify / Novation / Focusrite where I built large scale web backed audio applications and then lead their development teams across multiple hardware and software platforms as the technical lead. Now ive gone back to my roots building music tech fast with Marek at Elf-Audio!

  My first love (besides music) is C++, but these days you can find me writing C++, JS, Kotlin, Java... basically anything to get the job done. Im a Mac purist and a dedicated zsh fan!

All software is in C++ using custom libraries, with a good dose of copy/pasting from stack overflow. UPDATE 2023: And ChatGPT
