Pavel Smokotnin is an audio and software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building cross-platform audio tools and embedded systems from Cologne, Germany. As owner and lead developer of Open Sound Meter he blends C/C++ and Qt expertise with SIMD optimizations to deliver precise measurement tools for macOS, iOS, Windows and Linux. He has applied that domain knowledge professionally at RTW Audio, Lawo and multiple audio-equipment firms, including implementing network and DSP-integrated modules for amplifiers. Pavel contributes to notable open-source projects such as MuseScore, where he added a macOS audio driver and VST support, demonstrating an ability to bridge native audio stacks and plugin ecosystems. His background in live sound and R&D gives him a rare practical perspective on both measurement-grade audio engineering and production software.
