Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Dixon is a Staff Software Engineer and Squad Tech Lead based in Los Angeles with 11 years building cross-platform, real-time audio systems that ship as commercial products. He architects and implements high-performance C++ audio engines, having led greenfield projects for Output Creator and contributed key sampler and plugin-hosting work across music applications. His deep platform expertise spans CoreAudio, AudioUnits, WASAPI, Android AudioFlinger/AAudio, embedded audio, and build systems like CMake, enabling smooth integration between native audio engines and modern web or mobile GUIs. Kevin has driven partner integrations at Dolby and shaped CI/agile workflows, and his freelance work shows he regularly fills senior gaps on specialized audio projects. A trained audio production technologist, he pairs hands-on DSP and systems coding with product-focused design thinking—he’s as comfortable tuning low-latency kernels as influencing UX through architecture. An uncommon strength is his track record of shipping both mobile and desktop audio products end-to-end, from firmware and drivers to cloud-backed services.
