Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGábor Szántó is a specialist in high-performance audio engineering and an entrepreneur known for building cross-platform, low-latency audio systems that run on constrained mobile and web environments. As CTO of Superpowered and later Head of Audio Engineering at Splice, he architected an audio SDK and web-based plugin framework that power millions of users and enable real-time DSP across iOS, Android, desktop DAWs and browsers (WebAssembly). He combines deep signal-processing research with pragmatic C++/assembly optimization and novel algorithms—examples include a transient-aware time-stretch unit that delivers studio-quality pitch/time manipulation on single-core ARM devices. His work spans streaming (HLS/DASH), DRM/encryption for commercial SDKs like Beatport LINK, and end-to-end audio pipelines at scale (Amazon Amp). A long-time builder since founding iMect and releasing DJ Player with 3M+ downloads, he uniquely blends product intuition, low-level systems craftsmanship, and music-industry experience.
