As Control Concepts continues its quest to redefine its identity as an AV software developer serving manufacturers, software providers and integrators with their API integration needs, the company has added AV programmer Jonathan Chaidez to its software development team as a systems programmer.

Chaidez joins Control Concepts with six years of AV industry experience spanning installation through programming. He is well-versed in several control and audio platforms including Extron, QSC, Crestron, Audinate and Symetrix.

“I’m excited to join a true software team where I can apply my background and experience while learning from others who are well versed in implementing software development methodologies in the AV industry,” said Chaidez. “Developing modules, drivers and plugins is not only the type of work I truly enjoy, it is also rewarding because of the great benefit it provides manufacturers, integrators and other programmers.”

“We welcome Jonathan with open arms and know he will be a valued asset to our clients and team at large,” added Steve Greenblatt, Control Concepts’ president and founder. “Jonathan’s passion for software development paired with his curious desire to keep learning and growing make him a great fit for this role.”

The addition of Chaidez expands Control Concepts’ software development team to eight, and the overall team to 12, providing added bandwidth in anticipation of increased demands from manufacturers planning new product releases or expanded capability of existing products through the availability of control system modules, drivers and plugins to leverage their fully-featured API.
