ANDREW KALUZNIACKI

Overview

I seek a technical leadership role delivering state
of the art software in the realization of excellent products.
I have written commercial software for 25 years, leading the development
of seven major applications and making significant contributions to
more than fifty products. These products have sold millions of copies. They
have won accolades and awards being recognized as exceptional in design and
execution. I leverage my Caltech physics education to provide a rigorous basis
for my development work and associated research. Collaboration with
artists, engineers, scientists, and other creative professionals has taught
me appreciation for uncompromising design, and effective
communication with exacting, satisfied clients.
