Here are some products I created (with the help of a great team, every time)
AMS Logic 1. World's first all-digital, academy award winning audio deck. I designed & coded the signal processing (eq, dynamics, other effects) in floating point DSP, and the distributed control system in Occam 2 of all languages. Transputers were a thing.
Kodak Cineon FX. The technology that turned film into a digital medium. Was doing 4k (i.e. film res) 3D DVE's 20 years ago, though admittedly not in real time. If you've seen The Matrix, Independence Day, Air Force One, and hundreds of others excellent FX movies, you've seen my work. I designed the 3D DVE that came out in V4.0. This is where I wrote most of my C++.
Grass Valley Profile and Turbo video servers. Ultra reliable video playout for Super Bowl ads, and category defining ProAV HD server. By this point I had become an evil Engineering / Program manager and wrote a lot of MS Project Programs that, no surprise, never really executed.
NewTek TriCaster Production Switcher. I was consulting product manager for their major upgrade of control surfaces. Main language was visio and powerpoint. This helped revenues grow over 3x over the 2 years I was doing this.
Right now I'm in start-up mode developing an automated production solution that makes it bone simple (think tinder's ui) for ordinary people to make great looking TV. Hence my recent ascent of multiple HTML5 related learning curves. I'm turning into a big Javascript fan.
