Bio
Alan Martello, PhD
Philip possesses keen engineering insight, refined problem analysis skills and superb problem solving abilities. He is a true joy to work with.
Charlie Richmond
Philip is a true visionary and has been the driving force behind a number of important standards and developments in the entertainment industry. His in depth knowledge and expertise in networking made his contribution a key element in the successful development of the incredibly useful and powerful ACN protocol developed by ESTA, which he champions and promotes tirelessly. The amount of work and dedication involved in this development is a tribute to the amazing amount of time Philip and others put into this project. He is to be highly commended for sticking with it as I'm sure it will prove to be the most important ESTA product ever and probably the most revolutionary networking tool for the performing arts. Philip has also contributed a vast amount of time contributing to and rewriting my own pet project, MIDI Show Control, and I am completely indebted to him for the massive assistance he provided in helping make that proposal viable. He is a wonderful person to work with and is personable, calm and reasonable in the line of fire, which I have also unfortunately contributed to over the years. He is obviously capable of the most demanding projects of this type and can be highly recommended for any project he takes on!

Working with a small New Product design team, I enjoy working across boundaries from microwave circuit design and layout to devising robust and efficient network protocols and embedded firmware, from fuzzy product idea to factory production and from abstract mathematics to detailed component specification. I bring to the team a deep technical understanding of underlying science and algorithms and an ability to rapidly research, distil and adapt new ideas.

I bring to the team a deep technical understanding of underlying science and algorithms and an ability to rapidly research, distil and adapt new ideas. Over recent years I worked to design a miniature RF communication module for high capacity, theatre grade lighting control. This was then followed by a wide portfolio of new products that exploit or complement the module to provide a complete and highly scalable wireless control infrastructure used in theatres, studios, concert halls, arenas and other venues.
