@ericross1
Senior Audio DSP Engineer specializing in low-latency real-time audio, modern C++, and performance optimization.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Audio DSP Engineer with 12 years of experience building low-latency, production-grade audio systems using Modern C++, JUCE, and real-time programming techniques.
I have delivered measurable improvements across product lines, including reducing audio latency by 13.7ms, cutting CPU usage by 28.9%, and decreasing crash rates by 74.4% through targeted profiling and optimization.
My work spans full lifecycle development: architecture of modular plugin systems, SIMD-optimized DSP algorithms, cross-platform VST/AU development, and CI-driven regression testing that increased pre-release detection rates by 64.1%.
I am a strong communicator and mentor who shapes technical direction, defines reliable component interfaces, and collaborates closely with Agile teams to drive scalable, reliable audio products to market.
