Employment:

Chief Technology Officer, Blue Spike Inc.  1999 ­ 2001
www.bluespike.com

Head of research and development for a leading digital watermarking company. Managed a 
team of 8 developers. Performed core research and algorithm development and 
implementation. We delivered 8 watermarking products in different markets. I participated in 
industry standardization efforts (Secure Digital Music Initiative - SDMI). Co-authored 6 
patents and pending patents.

All core watermarking code was implemented in platform-independant C++. Specific products 
were targeted at one or more of the following platforms: Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. I 
designed and wrote all of the audio watermarking algorithms, several audio watermarking 
applications, and one image watermarking application. I oversaw the porting of one audio 
watermarking product to two DSP platforms. I also designed the API for the watermarking 
SDK. My original development of the algorithms and software began in 1997.

Contract Projects:

Mixman Macintosh   1998 ­ 1999
www.mixman.com

Mixman is a real-time DJ mixing application. I performed the original port of the audio engine 
from Windows to Macintosh. I also participated in all aspects of the port during its later 
stages, including audio, MIDI, and user interface coding.

Prosoniq TimeFactory   1998 ­ 1999

TimeFactory is a high-quality, final mix, time and pitch converter. I wrote the user interface for 
TimeFactory for both Macintosh and Windows.  The application is built around the Prosoniq 
MCFE engine. On both platforms, the application allows the user to convert and audition AIFF 
and .wav files.

Opcode Fusion:Vinyl and Fusion:Filter   1997 ­ 1998

Fusion:Vinyl and Fusion:Filter are audio processing plugins for a variety of plug-in 
architectures. I wrote the core, cross-platform, audio signal processing for both products. 
Fusion:Vinyl is a record simulator, producing vinyl-like artifacts on digital files. Fusion:Filter 
is a powerful filterbank for applying multiple filters and distortions to digital files.
