About

With over 13 years of hands-on experience in technology, I’ve thrived at the intersection of multimedia engineering and artificial intelligence—constantly learning, building, and pushing boundaries. My journey began with a deep passion for multimedia—building robust, cross-platform media player software, advanced video compression solutions, and high-performance parallel computing systems for multi-core CPUs and GPUs. What drives me is the thrill of transforming innovative ideas into reliable, efficient software. I’ve developed expertise in media frameworks like Android Stagefright, DirectShow, and FFmpeg; streaming protocols including HLS and DASH; and video codecs such as HEVC and H.264. I continually strive for software optimization, leveraging parallel programming, SIMD acceleration, and GPGPU computing to deliver creative, high-impact solutions. In recent years, my focus has evolved to the fast-moving world of AI and Large Language Models. I’ve had the chance to: • Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems built around OpenAPI specs. • Create scalable, intelligent multi-agent architectures using LangGraph and CrewAI frameworks. • Build and deploy robust microservices with Docker and Kubernetes, ensuring our AI solutions run smoothly at scale. • Leverage knowledge graphs (Neo4j), Google’s A2A, and Litellm to deliver smarter, context-aware products. • Experiment with re-ranking models to push the accuracy and usefulness of RAG solutions even further. What excites me most is bringing together my experience in multimedia, system optimization, and now AI to create innovative products that solve real-world problems. I’m a lifelong learner, always on the lookout for new technologies and creative collaborations. If you’re passionate about AI, multimedia, or just love to talk about how technology is shaping our world, let’s connect!
