Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeo Mccormack is an Audio DSP Engineer with eight years of focused experience in acoustical signal processing, spatial audio, microphone arrays and Ambisonics, now working at Apple after a long research and engineering tenure at Aalto University. He led the open-source Spatial_Audio_Framework (SPARTA) and transitioned research prototypes into reusable software, blending academic rigor from a DSc in Acoustics with practical production sensibilities. His background spans postdoctoral research, industry internships at Meta and Fraunhofer, and short-term R&D at Nokia, giving him a rare mix of deep spatial-audio theory and applied system-building. Based in Helsinki, he pairs high academic achievement with hands-on leadership in open-source projects, often bridging the gap between experimental algorithms and real-world audio engineering.
