Summary
Michael Leahy is a founder and hands-on software architect with over a decade of experience building cross-platform mobile, desktop, and graphics engines, currently commercializing TyphonRT — a middleware runtime for OpenGL/OpenCL-based apps and next-gen media tooling. He combines deep Java and Android expertise with C/C++ low-level work, real-time audio and DSP knowledge, and a track record of porting and rearchitecting apps and games to run from a single codebase across iOS, Android, and desktop.
