Practice — selected engagements

The Excité Practice

Measurement-led systems engineering, applied to whatever signal you bring. Three offerings — consulting, custom speaker design, and display & imaging systems work — built around a single approach: characterize the physics, model the non-linearity, design the pipeline, prove it works.

For clients with hard problems at the boundary between signal and perception.

01 The thesis

One approach. Three kinds of work

The Practice is the outside work I take on alongside the Excité loudspeaker program. The approach is the same as the one that built the lasers in HoloLens 2, the AR display pipeline at Meta, and the loudspeaker correction architecture Excité is built around: characterize the physics, model the non-linearity, measure what matters, correct in real time with hardware proportionate to the problem.

Display, audio, and sensors all reduce to perceptual signal chains. The transducers differ; the engineering question does not. If you have a hard systems-engineering problem at that boundary — in cinema acoustics, on a display pipeline, in a sensor stack, or in something none of those describe — we should talk.

02 The offerings

Three engagements, one methodology

Each offering is led personally. There is no team to delegate to; depth is the entire point.

01 / Consulting
Systems consulting
Engineering consulting for hard systems problems. Display pipeline architecture, image-quality systems, psychophysics-driven optimization, signal-chain design from sensor to silicon. For clients who want depth on a problem, not generalist advice.
Representative work
  • Display pipeline architecture & review for AR / VR
  • Image-quality measurement methodology
  • Wearable sensor system design
  • Real-time correction architecture for custom signal chains
  • Psychophysics-grounded algorithm design & validation
02 / Custom design
Custom loudspeakers
Bespoke loudspeakers for situations that don't fit a catalogue. Cinemas. Concert halls. Recording studios. Domestic systems where the brief asks for engineering beyond what the production line offers. Built around the same measurement-led, FPGA-corrected architecture as the Excité product line, adapted to the room, the brief, and the budget.
Representative work
  • Cinema and concert-hall sound & image quality
  • Custom enclosure & driver matching for specific rooms
  • Distributed array systems for performance venues
  • Reference monitoring for studio applications
  • End-to-end measurement & commissioning
03 / Display & imaging
Display & imaging
Display and imaging systems engineering. The same expertise that built the HoloLens 2 lasers, the AR image-quality stack at Meta, and display architecture work at Apple — available for clients with hard problems in display pipelines, imaging measurement, color science, perceptual modeling, or hardware-software co-design.
Representative work
  • Display pipeline architecture & validation
  • Image-quality measurement & metrology
  • Color science · tone- and gamut-mapping design
  • Psychophysics-driven low-power algorithms
  • FPGA & ASIC co-design for image-quality silicon
The practice
Bring the problem. We'll bring the rigour.
