I build ultra-low-latency 8K immersive sports streaming pipelines for global XR platforms.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At YBVR, I lead media pipeline deployments for FOX Sports and delivered first-ever 8K live immersive broadcasts for MLB, NCAA, and NASCAR on Android XR.
I've engineered ultra-low-latency SRT ingest workflows with FFmpeg, managed the FOX Sports XR VoD supply chain, and orchestrated Akamai edge routing and cache purging to support major live traffic spikes. I also build secure Tailscale and WireGuard mesh networks connecting remote production units with cloud infrastructure.
Previously, I activated cloud systems and ran live production operations for Meta-funded XTADIUM, delivering immersive 8K NBA, UFC, ESPN, DAZN, and NASCAR events to Meta Quest. I managed and scaled its VoD library, including the complete UFC catalog of more than 300 events, while automating containerized media workflows with AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker.
My background spans telecom engineering at Telefónica, AWS-based VPN services, SDN and edge-computing research, and network/software engineering. I bring hands-on experience across media transport, CDN delivery, cloud infrastructure, network operations, and high-pressure incident response.
