Distributed systems, video streaming, AI, and web performance. I help digital media companies scale, from CDN architecture to local LLMs.

About

Background in systems engineering, OTT platforms, and applied AI.

Systems engineer and IT management graduate with 12+ years building distributed systems, video streaming platforms, CDN architecture, and applied AI with local model deployment.

I've led engineering teams as R&D Manager, defined software architecture, and shipped OTT platforms, real-time video systems, and large-scale web applications. Today I split my time between Nublary (OTT co-founder) and Mirai Creativo (digital agency co-founder), after serving as Director of Sales Engineering at Inmobly, an OSU spinoff in AI-driven video delivery.

My sweet spot sits at the intersection of scalable infrastructure, video delivery, and applied AI: CDN topologies, multi-screen OTT platforms, and running LLMs locally.

Experience

12+ years across OTT, R&D leadership, and full-stack delivery.
