Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Korda is an inventive software architect and hands-on engineer with 30+ years of experience delivering embedded and desktop systems, from the firmware of the world’s first color 3D printer to multi-threaded Windows applications and bare-metal microcontroller code. He blends deep systems knowledge (RTOS, x86/x64 assembly, MMX/SSE) with practical expertise in modern stacks (C/C++, Python, TCP/IP, USB) to design robust APIs, drivers, and middleware for robotics, 3D printing, audio/visual tools, and networked devices. As founder of Chris Korda Consulting and Inventor at Anal Software, he has shipped production firmware, created widely used open-source creative tools (WaveShop, Mixere, Whorld, FFRend), and led complex porting efforts to ARM and embedded platforms. Known for clean architecture, thorough documentation, and brutal attention to real-world interoperability, he also composes electronic music and pursues digital art—bringing a creative, multidisciplinary perspective to technical problems. Based in Somerville, MA, he now focuses on full-time inventing and composition while still drawing on a rare mix of low-level optimization and high-level design.
