With over 20 years of experience in audio and multimedia technologies, I specialize in developing advanced solutions for broadcast and streaming at Dolby. My passion lies in bridging technical innovation with real-world application - delivering seamless, reliable audio and video experiences across devices and services. To support this mission, I actively contribute to international standardization bodies and industry organizations, as well as to open source software projects, helping shape the future of global media delivery and playback through collaboration, transparency, and shared innovation.
Shaping the technical foundations for delivering enhanced media experiences—spanning personalized and immersive audio as well as HDR video—for both IP-based streaming and traditional broadcast environments by: * Contributing to several international standardization bodies, including MPEG Systems, SCTE (formerly DASH-IF), and NorDig, where I serve as the main editor of industry-leading specifications such as ISO/IEC 14496-12 (ISO Base Media File Format). * Supporting the open-source ecosystem through contributions to dash.js, helping to drive the adoption of interoperable, standards-based streaming solutions across the industry. * Engaging in internal initiatives by creating publicly available technical documentation and advocating for the practical application of media standards to product managers and product owners, bridging the gap between standardization and product development.
Defining the technical constraints of Next-generation Audio in IP-based media delivery and traditional broadcast by creating documentation and technical standards, ensuring a seamless and consistent experience across multiple types of products.
