Quentin Carnicelli

CTO/Toolsmith

Quentin is currently the lead programmer on most of Rogue Amoeba's major applications. Prior to founding Rogue Amoeba, Quentin worked with Mr. Lagutin and Mr. Kafasis at Subband Software.

If you're searching for a birthday gift, you should know that Quentin enjoys Skittles more than anyone over the age of seven should.

Alex is the mind behind the original Audio Hijack concept, as well as the backends of all of Rogue Amoeba's applications.

Alex first took up programming in the early 90s while in the Soviet army, but just like his motherland, he has since embraced capitalism.

EMPLOYEES

David Dunham

Software Engineer

David is our newest programming hire. He joined us in April 2010 and has most recently led development on version 2 of Pulsar. Previously, he's created and helped make more games (for computer, iPhone, and tabletop) than he can count.

Despite his best efforts, David's stack of unread science fiction and other books keeps growing, threatening to consume him.
Lee Falin

Windows Software Engineer

Lee joined Rogue Amoeba at the end of 2008, to assist you and other customers with questions about our software. In 2010, Lee moved to the role of Windows software engineer, leading development of Airfoil for Windows.

Lee is a PhD student who writes software to help answer questions about the genetics of microorganisms. Naturally, the perfect companion job is working for a software company named after a microorganism.
Jeff Johnson

Software Engineer

Jeff joined us at Rogue Amoeba in June 2008. He's done important work on Airfoil, Pulsar, and Radioshift. He's now working on Nicecast 2.

Jeff is a former philosophy teacher who decided to switch to programming because philosophical problems never leave beta. He is generally well-mannered, but you don't want to meet him on the tennis court.
