at every layer.
Founder & Lead Software Engineer / Real Labs Development LLC
I build production systems from scratch: native media engines, real-time pipelines, full-stack platforms, and ML audio. At Real Labs, I work across the whole stack, from GPU compositing and Rust encoder paths to Django services, billing, deployment, and operations.

Founder & Lead Software Engineer
Real Labs Development LLC
I own the engineering from the underlying systems to the product experience. My résumé records four proprietary engines, three production modules, and 12 active RealVideoCreator projects at the time of that edition.
- Designed and shipped systems spanning RealVideoCreator, LUNA Engine, Real Gamers, VoiceLab, and internal platform tooling, including native media, GPU graphics, ML audio, backend services, and operations.
- Profiled and restructured a media encoding pipeline, reducing latency from 72ms to 4.82ms.
- Rebuilt the capture timing model to hold A/V sync drift under 1ms across LUNA capture paths.
- Operate six independent production services with deployment isolation, structured logging, and health checks.
- Built Real Labs Portfolio Studio with a visual CMS, drafts and publishing, version history, media uploads, page building, and atomic static snapshot deployment.
- Develop interfaces and internal tools using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and C# for creator applications, administration, and platform integration.
- Work directly with creators, testers, and early users to diagnose problems, trace root causes, and release fixes.
