🚀 CTO-Level Builder | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | 15+ Years Across SaaS, Data, and Scalable Systems I’m Chris, a hands-on software engineer and tech leader with a career that spans enterprise seismic platforms, real-time data pipelines, and custom CRMs for businesses that can’t afford off-the-shelf bloat. I’ve built tools used by energy giants, local service companies, and early-stage startups alike - always with a focus on clean architecture, real business value, and fast iteration. I’ve worked across the stack - and the industry map: ✔️ Built a custom CRM and scheduling system from scratch using Node.js, React, and MongoDB on GCP ✔️ Architected a SaaS platform as CTO and Co-Founder using Neo4j, GraphQL, and a modular TypeScript stack ✔️ Integrated Twilio APIs to power real-time call centers and customer workflows ✔️ Developed scalable systems in C++, Python, and Java, including seismic visualization tools at Chevron and PGS ✔️ Managed pipelines and cloud infrastructure with GCP, AWS, and serverless architecture 🛠️ What I bring to your project: – 15+ years of product-shipping experience across startups and Fortune 500s – Architect-level thinking with hands-on execution – Fluency in React, Node, Python, Java, C++, GraphQL, GCP, AWS, and modern devops – Calm, clear communication - especially when things break – A track record of turning messy legacy systems into maintainable, scalable tools If you’re looking for someone who can jump in, lead the build, and carry it through complexity - I’m ready to partner.

As a Video Streaming Engineer, I take ownership of the entire video streaming lifecycle, working diligently to deliver reliable, high-quality, and scalable video experiences to users around the globe. My expertise encompasses everything from initial video acquisition and processing to playback optimization and monitoring, ensuring that viewers enjoy smooth, secure, and engaging content regardless of their device or network conditions. - End-to-End Video Pipeline Engineering I am responsible for architecting and maintaining complex video pipelines. This means I manage video ingest from live sources and file-based workflows, automate transcoding processes using industry-standard and cutting-edge codecs (H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9, AV1), and handle multi-bitrate encoding for adaptive streaming. I build workflows for both live and Video on Demand (VOD) content, incorporating features like live-to-VOD clipping, catch-up TV, and time-shifted playback. - Streaming Protocols & Content Packaging I implement and optimize adaptive bitrate streaming using protocols such as HLS, MPEG-DASH, and CMAF, ensuring robust performance across a wide array of platforms and devices. I package content in formats compatible with various clients and work to minimize startup delay, buffering, and latency, particularly for live streaming. - Content Protection & DRM Integration Security is a top priority for me. I integrate multiple Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, including Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady, to protect premium content. I set up and manage encryption workflows (AES-128, SAMPLE-AES, CBCS, etc.), handle secure key exchanges, and ensure compliance with content licensing agreements. - Cloud-Native & On-Premises Media Infrastructure Utilizing cloud-based services like AWS Elemental MediaLive/MediaPackage, Azure Media Services, and Google Cloud Media, I design scalable, cost-effective, and resilient streaming architectures. I also work with on-premises solutions such as Wowza, Flussonic, and Nimble Streamer, integrating them with cloud or hybrid workflows as needed. - CDN Strategy & Optimization I design and implement CDN strategies to distribute video content globally with minimal latency and maximum reliability. This includes multi-CDN configurations, regional edge caching, and origin shielding using providers like Akamai, CloudFront, Fastly, and Cloudflare. I analyze CDN metrics, manage cache control policies, and optimize for both live and on-demand traffic spikes. - Playback Optimization & Device Compatibility I ensure playback consistency by testing and troubleshooting across a diverse ecosystem of devices—browsers, iOS/Android apps, smart TVs, game consoles, STBs, and more. I develop and tune player integrations (e.g., Shaka Player, hls.js, ExoPlayer, AVPlayer), implement adaptive bitrate logic, and monitor for issues such as stalls, rebuffering, and manifest errors. - Analytics, Monitoring, & Quality of Experience I set up comprehensive monitoring platforms to track key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics, including startup time, rebuffering ratio, video quality switches, and viewer engagement. I use tools like Mux, Conviva, or custom dashboards to analyze QoS/QoE data, diagnose bottlenecks, and proactively resolve user-impacting issues. - Collaboration & Agile Development I work closely with cross-functional teams—backend engineers, frontend developers, DevOps, QA, and product managers—to deliver new features, improve stability, and ensure seamless deployments. I participate in sprint planning, code reviews, and architectural discussions, always advocating for scalable and maintainable solutions. - Continuous Learning & Innovation Staying ahead in the fast-evolving field of video streaming, I regularly research emerging technologies such as low-latency streaming (LL-HLS, WebRTC), 4K/8K/UHD workflows, immersive video (360/VR/AR), and AI-driven optimization (content-aware encoding, automated quality control). I contribute to internal knowledge bases and mentor junior engineers to foster a culture of learning and technical excellence. Thank you for your consideration.
