Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnthony Parks is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and shipping audio and DSP software, currently at Sonos where he writes C++ across codecs (Dolby formats, AAC, Opus, LC3/LC3PLUS) and streaming stacks (HLS, MPEG-DASH). He blends deep academic training—a Ph.D. in architectural acoustics—with pragmatic engineering: unit-test-first development, performance dashboards, and tooling for embedded multi-platform audio. Anthony moves fluidly between production C++ (debugging with gdb, AddressSanitizer, valgrind) and Python test automation (pytest, numpy/scipy), and has led projects from certifying home-theater codecs to building conversational Slack tooling for automation. Beyond engineering, he’s produced electronic music and applies psychoacoustics and measurement-driven approaches to both product features and test strategies, making him equally comfortable with low-level memory debugging and high-level listening experiments.
