Expert witness bringing more than 25 years of experience in audio engineering, media networking, and network architecture, with a multidisciplinary background spanning digital audio systems, Internet Protocol (IP) networking, embedded systems, and standards development. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and has built a career at the intersection of professional audio, digital signal processing (DSP), and networked media technologies. His work integrates systems engineering principles with precise network synchronization protocols, media transport over IP, hardware architecture, firmware development, and real-time software design.

A significant portion of his career has focused on media networking and technical standards. He has served as a task group leader and editor for a high-performance streaming audio-over-IP interoperability standard and contributed to standards initiatives within IEEE, IETF, AES, and EBU. His involvement includes authorship and editorial work on published and in-progress technical specifications, as well as major contributions to Audio Video Bridging (AVB) and related network synchronization frameworks.

His technical expertise also extends to digital audio systems engineering and product development. He has played key roles in the development of real-time digital audio workstations, graphical DSP programming environments, audio networking platforms, and distributed audio systems deployed in commercial, broadcast, and government environments. He holds multiple issued U.S. patents and has additional applications pending, and has managed patent portfolios involving networked audio and media technologies. His intellectual property experience includes patent searching, application drafting support, infringement analysis, and portfolio evaluation.

In leadership capacities, he has served as Engineering Director and Director of Network Technology, managing multidisciplinary engineering teams across embedded software, firmware, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering disciplines. As an independent media networking consultant, he has provided technical feasibility analysis, network design review, development and test planning, IP analysis, and failure analysis . He has prior expert witness experience in matters involving digital audio systems, media networking protocols, synchronization standards, and patent litigation, offering technically grounded opinions supported by years of applied engineering and standards development work.
