Summary
Jack Newman is a software engineering manager and audio DSP specialist with 13 years of experience building professional audio tools and immersive media workflows. He leads the team at Apple responsible for the ASAF Production Suite and SDK, driving product direction, cross-company integrations (notably with Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve), and adoption of a new spatial audio format. With an MEng from Cambridge and further study at MIT, he combines rigorous signal‑processing research roots with hands‑on software architecture, CI/CD and plugin platform expertise. Previously he led virtual instrument development and DSP across MOTU’s DAW and plugin ecosystems, shipping novel algorithms, MPE/MIDI 2.0 support and multi-format plugin builds. Colleagues rely on him for bridging deep DSP math with practical, artist-friendly UIs and robust production pipelines. He’s also a musician at heart, which informs a rare sensitivity to audio quality throughout the stack.
