Summary
Michael Toth is a multidisciplinary engineer and musician with roughly 15 years of professional software and hardware experience and a long career in performance as Principal Pianist for the Allentown Symphony. He spent 16 years at Bell Labs/Lucent developing DSP, CAD tools, modems and multimedia hardware/software, then led embedded and software work at Mesh Semiconductor and created music-focused software through his company Virtual Pianist. Comfortable across C/C++, C#, Objective-C, Python, Ruby on Rails and legacy languages like FORTRAN, he blends low-level analog and digital design with modern web and embedded development. A former adjunct computer science instructor and organ software developer, he brings both practical production experience and a teacher’s clarity to complex engineering problems. Willing to work remotely, he values broad interdisciplinary perspectives—applying musical structure and signal-processing intuition to software and hardware design.
