Previous Employment:
- I was previously a Senior Programmer/Analyst at Heuris/Pulitzer, and later Heuris Logic, developing commercial video encoding and transcoding software used in service bureaus, the standalone commercial MPEG Power Professional software, and plug-ins for the leading non-linear video editing systems. My work in this era was noteworthy mainly for my early use of parallel processing and SIMD instruction set extensions for acceleration of the routines for color space conversions, image filtering and de-noising, and motion estimation within the video encoder subsystem.
