Senior🎓
Top SchoolKieran Coulter is a Principal Systems Software Developer specializing in audio, with nine years of professional experience building production-grade C, C++ and C# systems at the intersection of Audio DSP and Machine Learning. He has led R&D and productization across biotech, spatial audio, and voice processing—founding Zenbox Therapeutics and shipping audio tooling for companies from Bose to Embody and DTS. Recent work includes building local-ML voice tooling (LLM + TTS/STT/VAD) with llama.cpp/whisper.cpp, CUDA acceleration, and porting multimodel PyTorch solutions to C++/ONNX for low-latency inference. He combines deep signal-processing expertise (AEC, multichannel convolution engines) with practical systems engineering (build-system ports, OnnxRuntime wrappers, cross-platform plugins), and has a background in music and audio engineering that informs perceptual design decisions. Based in Vancouver, he brings an unusual blend of research curiosity, founder grit, and hands-on optimization for constrained, real-time audio applications.
