Chris Hiszpanski

• Architected and developed core streaming software
• Created low-latency (sub-second) video streaming platform (for web and mobile) using Media Source Extentions
• Implemented MPEG-4 ISO BMFF / CMAF muxer in Go
• Developed on-camera AAC audio daemon resulting in better audio fidelity and compression and lower compute usage
• Developed real-time communication software

Created AlohaRTC, a real-time video communication platform for teleoperation, smart cameras, robotics, and other connected devices.

• Easy-to-use. SDKs for simple integration.
• Low-latency. Less than 250ms.
• Secure. End-to-end encrypted.
• Cross-platform. Use any browser (including iOS Safari) -- no plug-ins needed.
• Stellar. Crystal clear video, in town or across the globe, even in tough network conditions.
