Paul Davis (programmer)
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Paul Davis (formerly as Paul Barton-Davis[1]) is a British software developer best known for his work on (JACK) audio software for the Linux operating system, and for his role as one of the first two programmers at Amazon.com.[1][2]
Davis grew up in the English Midlands and in London. After studying molecular biology and biophysics, he did post-graduate studies in computational biology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot and EMBL in Heidelberg.[3]
He emigrated to the U.S. in 1989. He lived in Seattle for seven years, where he did work for the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of Washington,[4] and several smaller software companies in Seattle - and became one of the two programmers who helped start Amazon.com, but left soon after the company began.[1] He moved to Philadelphia in 1996.
He went on to fund the development of various audio software for GNU/Linux, including Ardour and the JACK Audio Connection Kit. He became one of the few people to work full-time on free software, and one of the few to do so without being an employee of a commercial entity.
He is also an ultra-marathon and touring cyclist. High points have included the 298 mile Cannonball in 14:01, and a five-week tandem camping tour from Amsterdam to Athens.
