Embedded Multimedia & GStreamer Specialist | 20+ Years in C/C++ (Linux, Streaming, Real-Time Systems)

I help companies design, debug, and optimize audio/video streaming pipelines on Linux and embedded systems.

With 20+ years of experience in C/C++, I specialize in solving complex issues such as:

GStreamer pipeline design, debugging, and performance tuning

Low-latency audio/video streaming (HLS, MPEG-TS, HTTP streams)

Memory leaks, file descriptor issues, and multithreading problems

Custom plugin development and integration

Embedded Linux and real-time system optimization

I’ve worked on production systems involving multimedia frameworks like GStreamer and DirectShow, as well as UI frameworks such as GTK and EFL. My background also includes firmware-level development and system-level debugging.

I focus on delivering clean, efficient, and scalable solutions, especially for performance-critical applications.

💡 Whether you need help fixing a difficult streaming issue, optimizing an existing pipeline, or building a robust multimedia solution from scratch — I can help.

Let’s discuss your problem and get it solved.
