Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Maccallum is a software engineering consultant and CTO with 13 years of experience at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time multimedia, and the arts. His work spans research roles at Berkeley and Inria on time synchronization and heterogeneous computation to applied engineering for live, high-channel-count audio/video systems and creative technologies. He coins and practices "speculative programming," blending improvisatory design used in time-based performance with rigorous language and systems thinking. Based in Berlin, he collaborates long-term with choreographer Teoma Naccarato to create extended-durational performances that push real-time systems at scale. Equally at home in academia and industry, he seeks projects that tightly integrate software architecture with artistic expression.
