Highly accomplished audio software engineer and CTO with extensive experience developing award-winning plugins, libraries, and real-time audio systems. Originally a musician, now also an expert in modern C++, software architecture, audio plugins, UI programming, and the intersection of music and code.
Eyal Amir embodies the rare fusion of accomplished musician and masterful C++ engineer, possessing a profound understanding of both the expressive language of music and the technical architecture of audio software. Eyal’s open-source contributions have been used in my teaching at CCRMA/Stanford, particularly Music 320c.
Eyal is the most hardcore audio programmer I know. His deep mastery of C++ and systems programming, combined with his musical intuition, make him one of the rare few who bridge art and engineering at the highest level. A true virtuoso in the world of music software.
Eyal is excellent at tackling the unique set of problems that plague audio plugin developers. From a comprehensive understanding of the threading, memory, and other real-time challenges we face to an intimate knowledge of DAW quirks he's amassed over years of experience, we found him invaluable at streamlining our builds, bringing FUEL to market, and guiding it past the first few months after its release. I recommend him heartily!
In my life as a professional musician and technologist, I’ve never met anyone like Eyal — someone who combines such deep musical talent with remarkable technical expertise. When we first started working together, I was struck by his rare understanding of so many forms of media, and now, nothing he does surprises me. He’s truly extraordinary, and I’m grateful to collaborate with him in both music and technology.

Modern C++ is my native tongue — where milliseconds matter and elegance meets performance. I take great pride in writing reusable, performant libraries with great APIs that can scale well to multiple products and use cases, while still being robust and performant.
Realtime Audio, Code Architecture, CMake, Cross-Platform Development. I build systems that never drop a frame or miss a beat. From CMake-driven multi-platform pipelines to tightly tuned audio engines, I care about the invisible structure that makes creative tools feel effortless. Apps, Plugins and services I've built are constantly running on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and all kinds of different devices and CPUs.
Music ↔ Code Connections, Audio Plugin Development Music was my first language; code became my second. I've released over 20 professional apps and plugins by some of the world's biggest music-tech companies. My work is used in most major recording studios and on stage by grammy winning artists. I love being able to contribute to great artistic depth.
