About Me

I am a freelance embedded engineer helping audio companies to develop modern digital platforms and algorithms.

I have 15 years experience with many projects across the music industry, pro audio and car audio.

My expertise spans from DSP chips and microcontrollers to modern CPUs running hard realtime audio processing.

I developed several algorithms, peripheral drivers, libraries and frameworks making use of bare-metal, embedded RTOS and embedded Linux.

    DSP, microcontroller or a general purpose CPU? What are the major factors affecting design choices in embedded systems today, and how do they compare in terms of computational speed? Since 1978 DSP chips were invented to cope with some limitations of existing CPUs. Audio processing has always been challenging because of inherently high demand for both throughput and low latency processing features. This led the chip manufacturers to develop specific architectures for such challenging tasks. During the years the increasing demand of computation led also to develop on-chip hardware accelerators for specific tasks like FIR, IIR and DMA, making the […]
