• Work done in C++ 11 on OSX using XCode and then cross compiled into Linux running an ARM processor, multiplatform development in Java and C++ for Compilers use Clang.
• My code involves using GStreamer and Live 555 streaming frameworks to stream H264/H265/VP9 video and MJPEG video from various IPCams the end user may have already installed on his home network.
• All streaming done over UDP and multiple RTP and RTCP streams for audio and video are muxing and transcoded on the fly.
• Work involves integrating IP Cams video and audio streaming into an embedded consumer product, for your living room.
• The consumer box has a powerful AV hardware encoders and decoders that are used to decode the streams. I repacked the streams into a transport stream and feed it to the decoders.

Senior Mobile engineer / Team Lead

Responsibilities:

• Using my own SDK to build a commercial product, which is a Camera app with the ability to apply special effects on captured video or images. It’s like a cross between SnapChat special effects and a sophisticated camera app.
• Creating on an open source Camera API that encapsulated the use of Android Legacy Camera API and the new Camera 2 API. The purpose is to give Android developers a support library that allows them to use one multimedia API and not worry about what Android OS they are on and which Camera API to use.
• I intend to use this library to add real-time effects to Android image capture process for video and much more. I will encapsulate the OpenGL Media Effects API so developers can add real-time special effects to captured video. (Think Instagram for video)
• I modeled it after Google support library which does the same thing for Android API but does not cover multimedia.
• The framework works on Android 4:3 and Later
• I updating this framework to support 360 video and HDR

Senior Android Engineer /Team Lead

Responsibilities:

• Innovations work with a next generation Android Wear app that allow people to preload cash machine withdrawals from an ATM via mobile and Wear Watch before arriving in front of the Bank ATM.
• The ATM would identify the device over Bluetooth and fill the cash order after authentication.
• Bank receipts copies would be sent to the watch and mobile banking apps.
• I also worked on a Security solution for storing temporary data on the device using shared memory and multiple keys.
• The solution is used for storing repeat requests for temporary bank statements from the server.

Android Streaming Media Developer/ Team Lead

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• A short-term contract to fix streaming problems with highschoolcube.com
• I used the new low-level media APIs in Android to encode H264 video and AAC audio directly from the android smartphone front camera so students can stream high school sports.
• Replaced a software only encoding solution with a new capture process (video frames from the preview window) and using the incredible new low level media APIs in Android 4.1 which use the hardware decoder built into the mobile GPU to encode and decode video.
• The software encodes video over a 1000x faster because all the H264 encoding logic is down in hardware of the mobile GPU.
• I was able to encode video faster than the camera could capture it. I love it, thank you Google

Senior Android consultant/ Team Lead

Responsibilities:

• Developer for the Digital Wallet group as the Subject Matter Expert at Visa for Android SDKs.
• I’m designing multiple mobile SDKs to be used in future Visa projects, all implemented in Android Java code.
• I built several Android SDKs including one that wraps around Google Volley REST framework and GreenRobot direct messaging for Android components. This provides the fastest access to remote Visa Services via REST class from an Android device.
• Built an SDK that wraps around Android KitKat Host Card Emulation feature, which allows an Android Phone to simulate a credit card for wireless payments. This technology allows Visa to put the secure elements (all your personal details) on a Cloud, and not embedded into the device like current credit card, this means your future credit card will be a phone and your personal information much safer than current credit cards which has your account details in it magnetic stripe. These SDKs go to Merchants or Banks
• I gave several Brown Bag talks on several subjects, including Android Performance testing, multimedia, and use of the SDKs I built.
• I also helped build several proof of concepts with NFC Host Card Emulation technology, including unlocking a bike, and renting a bike using NFC and a Starbucks POC that shows paying with a phone using an Host Card Emulation SDK.
• Created a POC of a future design of VISA products using Android animation, fragments, and advanced design techniques.

• The video product is a video platform that includes a flash-based (OSMF based) Video Player and broadcaster with the JavaScript API with the HTML 5.0 video player as an alternative based on device detection using JavaScript. The project does a dual-track flash video and HTML 5.0 video player strategy.
• I developed the video player and broadcaster in ActionScript 3 with another engineer who is developing the video platform API. I develop the architecture, built the video player and broadcaster code base on OSMF 2.0 and built OSMF plugins for functionality like player analytics, video management, custom control bars, special debug windows, and video syncing of multiple HTTP streams (video and slide).
• I built a live video edit feature into the player, where the customer can trim the video and preform non-destructive edits
• I built diagnostic information into the player activated via a key stroke combination using a debug windows with multiple tabs
• I got the player to use the video card GPU for and the GPU built in H264 decoder playing video across Mac OSX and Windows OS
• This also includes writing the test unit code in FlexUnit4, and building in diagnostic services into the player.
• The video player is very sophisticated with multiple video dynamic streams, handling of multiple audio tracks, interfacing with high- end video encoders, and includes multiple OSMF based plugins, with an customer JavaScript API.
• Also help built the Android version of the product which including architecture, design and implementation of the product as an add-on to the web version
• Mobile app uses Android multimedia library and allows users to capture video and share it with our web version of the software. A mixture of Java and NDX code in C++ was used in the mobile app
• Tablet and mobile phone version of Android (3.2 and 2.2) platforms were targeted with separate APK files.
• Android development was done in Java and some work in C++ with the NDK. Initial work was done in Adobe Flex for mobile.
