Bjorn Roche’s Summary
I am an experienced programmer and systems administrator. I enjoy Mac OS X, Unix (especially FreeBSD and Debian Linux), Java, C and C++. My specialty is audio programming, including audio processing/DSP, and audio GUI design. I am also experienced as a scientific programmer, having worked on several bio-medical imaging projects, and projects involving advanced statistics. Most of my time right now is taken up with XO Audio, but I occasionally consult and work part time as a scientific programmer and systems administrator.
