Meet Dave O'Rourke - Lead Camtasia Studio Developer
Posted on Tuesday January 5, 2010 by Betsy Weber
Kelly Rush, TechSmith's videographer and I have been roaming behind the scenes at TechSmith and filming as part of our ongoing series about the people at TechSmith who make the products you use. This time, we stormed Dave O'Rourke's office. Dave is the Lead Developer for Camtasia Studio. As Lead Developer he's not only involved in software engineering and design, but he's also responsible for the code that makes Camtasia Studio work. Dave also steers the development of Camtasia Studio.
Dave started at TechSmith around the same time I did in 2000. There were less than 20 of us at TechSmith at that time! Now, we're over 200 people. Dave talks about his history at TechSmith, what a typical day is like for him, how he uses TechSmith products as a developer, how he uses the feedback you send, and what he loves about TechSmith.
It's a quick video running 4:37 minutes. Enjoy!
Any questions you would like to ask any TechSmithie? Kelly and I will be wandering the halls of TechSmith and conducting more interviews.

Terrific job!! How about seeing the folks who handle technical support on the phone when we need to call for help.

Cathy - Great idea! We'll see who we can get from Tech Support. Any questions we should ask?

Care to share what was used to capture this video? It's so incredibly clear. Also, was Camtasia Studio used to process it?
