Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Watkinson is an engineering leader and founder with 11 years of experience building full-stack, media-rich web applications from browser-based audio workstations to consumer products. He co-founded and led WavTool as CEO, shipped complex in-browser audio and DSP integrations, and now contributes engineering expertise at Suno from Vancouver.
