Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoth Michaels is a Principal Software Engineer based in Boston with eight years of professional experience and a deep specialty in real-time audio, DSP, and tools for electroacoustic performance. He blends hands-on systems and plugin development at iZotope with a long-running independent practice (The Wasabi Hut) designing Max/MSP, Java, Clojure, and mobile controller software for composers and ensembles. Known for rapidly learning new languages and SDKs, he has led cross-disciplinary projects—from low-latency JNI optimizations and custom OSC networking to iPad ensemble controllers—while mentoring other developers and artists. His work is driven by treating programming as an artistic medium: he composes, performs with live electronics, and researches ML and chaotic-control approaches to augment performer cognition and expression. Equally comfortable shipping production audio software and producing concert recordings, he combines technical leadership with a nuanced philosophy of performance that informs his engineering decisions.
