Michael has been programming since 1981 in various languages including assembly (6502, 680x0, PPC, x86 - notice a trend?), C, C++, MATLAB (now PyLab), and Python. He has been a Mac user since entering MIT undergrad in 1986, and is finishing his PhD at the University of Notre Dame in the general topic area of software-defined radios (SDR) in 2012. He has worked for BBN (1992 through 1997) and The MITRE Corporation (Fall 2001 through Spring 2005), and is currently a consultant in the area of SDR / real-time signal processing systems. He is a GNU Radio developer, having contributed the Mac OS X USB and audio interfaces as well as numerous other bug fixes and various parts of the build system.
