01 / About
I’m a software engineer focused on production video playback and the infrastructure that makes complex platforms dependable to ship. My work spans TypeScript player architecture, live HLS/DASH behavior, DRM, browser test automation, monorepo packaging, and CI/CD release engineering. I’m equally comfortable tracing a runtime lifecycle bug or strengthening the delivery path around it—and I bring that systems mindset to full-stack and AI-driven products too.
