π§ About Me
I have 15+ years of overall experience in IT and software development as a programmer, technical and team leader, systems architect, and consultant. 6+ years of them in cloud video, live-streaming, and real-time communications domain.
π‘Consulting
If you’re utilizing or developing a product that utilizes online video, and need software development or architecture technology consultation.
I’m available for consulting or contracting work in the following areas:
- General questions about video properties (sdr/hdr, rgb, yuv, ycbcr, color spaces, etc) and codecs (h264/hevc, vp8/vp9, av1, …), audio codecs, media containers (mp4, flv, mkv, mpegts, …), streaming protocols (rtmp, rtp, mpegts, srt, hls, dash …), file processing and live streaming.
- Designing and development heterogeneous software systems in c, rust, nodejs, python, java
- Real-time video ingest from hardware encoders, mobile applications, web pages, restreaming and playback, recording and processing, transcoding, and filtering, using GPU.
- FFmpeg usage as a command-line tool and as C API and programming, using ffmpeg from different programming languages.
- Building scalable video processing pipeline architectures utilizing cloud saas/paas providers, CDNs, or using own bare metal servers, docker containers, etc.
- Real-time video communication and streaming using WebRTC and WebSockets.
