Stephen (Mac) Rowe – Software Team Leader

Mac has particular skills in DSP development for telecommunications and medical systems. He received his Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical – Information Systems) with 1st class honours from the University of Sydney. His thesis project with Telectronics Pacing Systems was awarded the Prospect Electricity Control Prize. He is an inventor is several patents including medical devices for cancer diagnostics and skin lesion analysis.

The many products he has developed range from dual-DSP based audio systems to FDA approved controllers of high powered lasers. This includes coding within frameworks such as MISRA and IEC62304.

Mac has been writing software since the cassette-based days of the TRS-80 & ZX-81. If you ever played Goldsoft’s arcade game ‘Airfox’ on the now-forgotten Tandy Coco, you were using the first piece of software he was ever paid for – a game he wrote when he was 13 years old.
