Senior🎓
Top SchoolLorcan Mc Donagh is an independent consultant and founder with 13+ years of experience applying signal processing, machine learning and high-performance C++ to audio, image and scientific applications. He holds a PhD in Signal Processing and blends deep academic knowledge of time-frequency representations with hands-on expertise in cross-platform audio plug-in (AAX/AU/VST) development and OpenGL graphics. Lorcan has led product-grade projects from architecture and API design to team management and QC, including real-time DNA microarray analysis and commercial audio tooling. He is comfortable bridging research and industry requirements—turning granular theoretical models into optimized, deployable algorithms. Based in Paris, he advises high-tech clients across audio, broadcast, biotech and scientific instrumentation. A detail often overlooked: he pairs advanced algorithm design with low-level C++ optimization, making him as effective at CPU-bound performance tuning as at conceptual system design.
