Hi. I'm a highly self-motivated builder and problem solver. Nominated for multiple technical Emmys. You name it, I have built it, at scale. Give me a team, and I will teach them how to do it right and efficiently. My previous project was a Twitch-killing streaming system for 200M+ simultaneous viewers. I can build anything. I can find a solution to any problem. I specialise in building streaming services. If you own a TV you are likely using my software already. For money, I design and build national-scale broadcast systems. Do you want to build a Netflix? I can do that from the ground up. For fun, I am currently building a large-scale AI project in public.

Heh, I'd recommend replacing dead links on the blog with https://web.archive.org/ ones.

Based on how broken the site's external links were I incorrectly concluded the whole blog was created by genAI. Then I thought to check web.archive.org and found they're legitimate links & it's just internet bit rot.

I fixed a few, but it's going to take a long time.

The internet archive aggressively rate-limits, so just finding one image or archived site takes a lot of patience. :(

Thanks! Good idea! It's been a while since I checked the links. I will take a look. :D
