Work Experience
Senior Principal Engineer
Johnson Controls
- Streamed the stack on the ThinLinX embedded and Android operation systems. Streamed audio, video, and events from the camera to the network video recorder.
- Integrated voice calls, doorbells, and baby cry monitors with Alexa. Handled audio and video compressions.
- Worked with Tyco and JCI cameras, NVIDIA GPU, RTX graphics cards, 2D and 3D graphics drives, Audio2Face, Audio2Gesture, and AI video streaming.
Senior Principal Engineer
Eagle 3D Streaming
- Streamed 3D game content to remote devices, including 10,000 mobile devices.
- Contributed a million lines of source code to Unreal Engine.
- Worked on Eagle 3D stream presentations, harnessing Unreal Engine to gain investor or client buy-in. The presentations helped architecture, engineering, and construction virtual walkthroughs.
Software Engineer V
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
- Worked on communication brokers to permit networked devices, nodes, and mobile devices to discover each other's presence in the network seamlessly.
- Ensured that functional network services for data sharing were established.
- Streamed media content. Worked with universal plug and play, MQTT, OpenSSL, GStreamer, MP3, H.264, H.265, FFmpeg, Wireshark, SOAP, XML, the RPC request-response protocol, cloud APIs, and Docker.
Senior Software Engineer
Cisco
- Engaged as a member of the device driver team. Worked on motion detection on the Cisco camera and archived videos from the camera in XFS.
- Streamed with media protocols such as real-time transport (RTP), real-time streaming (RTSP), session initiation (SIP), and user datagram (UDP). Performed video encoding and enabled multicasting for formats like MPEG-4, H.264, and MJPEG.
- Did cloud computing and worked with Embedded Linux, Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10), profile and debugging tools (GDB, dbx, and OpenMP), and cameras from various vendors (Cisco, VIVOTEK, Axis, and Panasonic).
