I’ve worked on a lot of projects. Years ago, a recruiter advised me that my resume had too many pages. I shrunk the font. I’m skeptical he found that as amusing as I did, but I’m loath to delete old details. My LinkedIn profile includes my time at Wendy's and my middle-school paper route for the San Jose Mercury News. This history tells a story. The story you’ll find here as you filter through the buzzwords is of one who, to his core, revels in engineering challenges, is more than a little opinionated, loves simple solutions to complex problems, eschews office politics, can delegate, manage, encourage and mentor, and who would rather be playing with his kids right now than typing a profile introduction. Also, I’m truly terrible at marketing. Most recently, working on Streamie (streamie.co) has given me the opportunity to delve into audio/video streaming, transcoding, recording, sharing, cloud services and backend engineering. I’ve specifically worked with H.264 (AVC), H.265 (HEVC), AAC, G.711a/mu, PCM (in various forms), while implementing services using MPEG-DASH, RTSP, WebRTC and others, using AVFoundation, AudioToolbox, VideoToolbox, FFmpeg and other toolkits and frameworks. Outside of engineering, I’ve been responsible for management of marketing, sales and other individuals; contract negotiations with service providers and physical infrastructure projects. I’ve been honing my craft for twenty-five years and I look forward to applying my experience and enthusiasm to my next opportunity. Let’s talk about how I can help you.
