Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Sullivan is a tech lead and multidisciplinary engineer with 13 years of experience building full-stack web applications, real-time multimedia systems, and music-focused software and installations. Based in Oakland, he blends hands-on C++, Node.js, React, and embedded Linux development with design facilitation—running design sprints and prototyping sessions to align product, design, and engineering. He has led small cross-functional teams at Output and Dolby, shipping interactive audio and generative music projects that bridge low-level audio engineering and user-facing experiences. Equally comfortable soldering sensors for hardware prototypes as writing React UIs, he pairs a Stanford MS in Music, Science & Technology with a strong computer science foundation from RPI. Notably, his background in sound design and recording informs pragmatic decisions about audio fidelity and latency that often go overlooked in typical web or mobile projects.
