About the service

I architect and build video streaming platforms that stay fast and stable as your audience grows from hundreds to millions of viewers. My core work is the entire delivery chain: I set up FFmpeg transcoding pipelines that turn raw files or live streams into clean adaptive renditions, package them into HLS and DASH, wire them to a CDN so viewers anywhere get smooth playback without buffering. Whether you need video on demand, round-the-clock live channels, or low-latency event broadcasts, I choose the right bitrate ladder and codecs (H.264, HEVC, AV1) so quality and cost stay under control.

Beyond the pipeline itself, I handle what makes a real product. I integrate web and mobile players with bitrate switching, subtitles, preview frames, and resume from where you left off, plus add the business layer where you actually earn money: DRM (Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay), signed URLs, geo and domain restrictions, paywalls, and subscription access. On top I plug in playback analytics so you see concurrent viewers, rebuffering, startup time, and watch-through rate — and turn those numbers into encoding and CDN spend decisions.

I care about operations as much as a beautiful demo. I containerize encoders, set up autoscaling for live and batch jobs, add retries and failover so an incoming stream drop doesn't kill the channel, and document everything so your team can run the system without me. You get a measurable, economical solution sized for traffic spikes, not a fragile prototype. Typical tasks:

— VOD transcoding pipeline with FFmpeg, packaged as adaptive HLS/DASH
— Low-latency live ingest and transcoding, channel management
— Player integration with DRM, paywall, and subscription control
— CDN setup, signed URLs, and multiregional delivery
— Playback analytics, QoS dashboards, and cost optimization
