What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, low-latency multimedia or AI-backed audio/video systems where I can optimize performance, mentor engineers, and drive product impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years building production-grade multimedia applications across audio and video domains. I specialize in C++, Rust and Python, designing real-time audio/video processing pipelines, low-latency streaming systems, and cross-platform desktop solutions that scale from MVP to high-performance products.

I have delivered AI-backed noise cancellation platforms, desktop audio tooling, and OTT streaming infrastructure by combining systems-level optimization, asynchronous architectures, and strong backend engineering (FastAPI, Django, cloud deployments). I prioritize performance, reliability, and maintainability while working in agile teams to meet tight timelines.
