About

I help engineering teams build and ship real-time media products where failure isn't an option. With a background in C++, Rust, and pro audio, I specialize in the core systems that make media products work: reliable streaming, low-latency networking, and robust cross-platform architecture. Companies typically bring me in when: - They need to de-risk a major platform migration or new audio feature. - The team is strong but lacks deep experience in networked media or real-time audio. - Performance or stability issues are slowing down the roadmap. I don’t just write code in isolation; I work closely with your leadership and developers to set architectural patterns that last. If you are looking for a senior developer to help you navigate the complexities of real-time media, let’s talk.
