Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKjetil Matheussen is an independent consultant and seasoned software engineer with over two decades of programming experience and 14 years in professional roles, specializing in audio software, functional programming, and real‑time systems. He has authored projects packaged in major Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora and contributed to the JACK audio server (jack2), improving cross‑platform stability and Windows compatibility. His background spans academia and industry—from teaching functional programming at the University of Oslo to client development at Spotify and research work at NOTAM—culminating in ongoing development of the Radium music editor. Comfortable with low‑level concurrency (threads, locks, lock‑free algorithms, timing) and higher‑order functional design, he focuses on simple, readable code that meets real‑time constraints. He holds advanced degrees in computer science and music/technology (UiO and Stanford), a combination that informs his work making functional languages viable for realtime audio processing. An interesting thread through his career is bridging research and production: turning experimental language ideas into robust, deployable audio tools.
