Work Experience
Freelance DevOps Engineer
2018 - 2018
Meta® Data Systems (via Toptal)
- Created a Lambda function to push video files from S3 to MediaConvert with a specific profile.
- Built a proof of concept (POC) with Ruby On Rails; the web app allows the user to (directly) upload a video file to S3 (with using multipart uploading) or select an uploaded video file from the bucket, upload subtitles, poster, input audio streams and other fields, and then push the job to MediaConvert. When the job is finished MediaConvert will notify the web app by triggering a webhook. Then the web app enables the user to play the processed video file and select a protocol (HLS, DASH), audio stream, or subtitle.
