I’m a Lead Software Engineer, Architect, and Consultant with ~20 years of experience building high-performance desktop and system-level applications across Windows and macOS. My core expertise is in native development (C/C++), audio systems, and cross-platform desktop applications (including Electron + TypeScript when appropriate). Recently, I’ve been working extensively with LLMs and local AI pipelines, focusing on practical, production-grade solutions. I specialize in: - Real-time audio capture, processing, and routing (WASAPI, CoreAudio) - Local/offline AI pipelines (transcription, embeddings, inference) - Integrating LLMs into desktop applications and workflows - Performance-critical native code and system-level optimization - Cross-platform architecture (Windows/macOS) - Desktop apps with complex native + UI integration My recent work includes building systems that combine audio processing + LLMs for transcription, analysis, and structured data extraction — running efficiently on end-user machines. I’ve also worked with: - DRM and protected media pipelines - Audio/video streaming and processing - Deep system integrations and OS-level APIs As a consultant, I help teams design and ship robust, production-ready systems, not prototypes.
