Summary
Jeff Mcclintock is a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years specializing in audio software, DSP, and cross-platform C++ development for plugins (VST3, AU, AAX) and applications. He has led engineering work at companies like Waves Audio, inMusic, and Exonic UK, and currently builds audio products at SSG Audio while running his long-standing SynthEdit project that implements a cross-platform graphics and plugin framework.
