I work on making media experience in Android apps (LinkedIn and beyond) even better, focusing on performance, reliability and capabilities. Things I have been working on lately:

• wrote a media uploader SDK, capable of editing media and optimizing its resolution/size before uploading, with support for multiple upload protocols and networking stacks

• wrote and open sourced LiTr - a hardware accelerated media transcoder with capability to edit video/audio frames. Having started as a simple video transcoder, LiTr evolved (and continues to evolve) into a capable video/audio editing solution, adopted by independent developers and large software projects alike. As an open source project, it became a point of collaboration for multiple talented media engineers.

• parallelized video transcoding with upload to speed up video upload even more

• wrote a media player (wraps ExoPlayer2), optimized for LinkedIn's consumption experience

• giving talks at external and internal conferences

• helping fellow engineers to grow, via collaboration and/or mentoring

Worked on everything video and Android - transcoding, playback, performance.

• Worked on advanced R&D projects: inventing, prototyping, patenting, taking to production.

• Re-architected and refactored one of main software modules, developed at Verizon Lab - the SetupWizard. Turned legacy app (compiled as part of phone firmware, not debuggable, not scalable) into gradle based application, debuggable in AndrodStudio. Reduced code size by 60%, restructured code into independent modules, implemented highly scalable and testable data-driven architecture. Lead a team of 5 engineers.

• Created Dicomite DICOM Viewer application - a simple and powerful viewer for medical DICOM images for Android devices. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.mno.team1.dicomreader) Architected the app, wrote parser/decoder/renderer library, wrote most of UI code. Lead a team of 3 engineers.

• 4 patents pending.

• Contributor to Samsung KNOX.

• Assisting colleagues with resolving complex and critical issues.

• Android platform customizations: proprietary AGPS stack, SQLite encryption stack, device encryption, performance optimizations.

• Created custom AOSP (Gingerbread) based ROM for Samsung CDMA device.

• Worked on CoPilot GPS Navigation software (iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian versions)

• Implemented new features for map rendering (3D buildings/landmarks, traffic overlays, bread crumbs, etc.)

• Developed map data compression algorithm, that increased the quality of polygon data while reducing size by over 33%

Designed and developed statewide PDA-based mobile traffic incident data collection system for NJDOT Traffic Operations Emergency Service Patrol.

Developed data mining and optimization methods for Traffic Incident Management.
