Toby Sharp is the lead Research Software Development Engineer (RSDE) for the Computer Vision and Medical Imaging groups at Microsoft Research, Cambridge (UK).
Biography
Toby holds a degree from the University of York in pure mathematics and is a professional member of the BCS and IEEE.
His career in software development began in 1996 when he joined a small scientific software firm and implemented time-frequency analysis by adaptive wavelet packet decompositions, required by the automotive industry.
Between 1999 and 2005 he was a Senior Software Developer at Serif Inc., developing desktop graphics and multimedia applications. After contributing several major features to PhotoPlus, he led the design and development of MoviePlus. The latter project involved creating a world-leading real-time audio-video composition engine with its own JIT compiler for ultimate performance.
In 2005 he joined Microsoft Research (UK) to become the lead developer for the Computer Vision group.
