Senior/Principal C++ systems engineer and solo founder. Deep background in performance-critical video/audio software, including HEVC/H.265 decoder implementation and optimization, x86/SSE and ARM/NEON assembly, advanced threading, lock-free algorithms, cross-platform native software, and production media systems.

Recently built APU Software end-to-end: commercial C++20 audio software, CI/CD, licensing, websites, documentation, support, and product infrastructure. Heavy experience with Python-based automation and modern AI-assisted development workflows; comfortable operating with high leverage across architecture, implementation, testing, documentation, and release engineering.

Looking for remote contract, contract-to-hire, or W-2 Staff/Principal individual-contributor engineering work involving C++/native performance, video/audio systems, real-time systems, developer tools, inference/runtime optimization, or hard production debugging. Prefer async-heavy teams and low-meeting environments.
