Alright Mastodon, I'm looking for work.

Senior software developer, specializing in low-level, embedded, and systems programming. Previous work includes video compression (developer on AV1 and AV2), silicon verification, and scientific/numerical software. Full CV/resume available on request.

Primarily looking for remote work, but would consider in-person in the UK if the circumstances are right.

Available for either contract work through the company I run (easiest route if you're outside the UK), or direct employment.

Tagging #FediHire for visibility.

SVT-AV1 4.0.0 is here!
Changelog: https://gitlab.com/AOMediaCodec/SVT-AV1/-/releases/v4.0.0
SVT-AV1-PSY's porting efforts are fully complete, and this release also features huge AVIF improvements. Maybe the most exciting release to date by my standards – SVT-AV1 is finally a real perceptual encoder!

I got Chimera installed on the loongarch mini-PC. Installation was very smooth, basically identical to an x86_64 install. I also installed GNOME, but gnome-shell is unstable. I can log in and poke around for a brief amount of time, but then it crashes and I'm back at the login screen. Looks like I have my first project there.

Today I'm at #fossforall 2025 conference in #Seoul, it just started. Right now we are about 80 people here.

Let's see how it goes. Half of the talks are in English and the other half should have live AI translations, just need to find out how to find them.
