Dear Sir/Madam:
For the past two years I have been working at Azureus / Vuze, Inc. It was a great enriching experience. As a Software Engineer I was responsible for generating flash video previews and screenshots of user submitted content, which was done mostly using perl scripting. Later on I went a step further and built a distributed transcoding engine for all the user submitted videos, and worked intensively in evaluating the right formulas for bitrate and solving audio-video sync problems. Two other projects involved C and Java development (see My Resume for details).
During my six years of studies, four internships and two previous employment, I have learned many computer programming languages and to lead a team of five people in software development. I would like to use my knowledge at your service and would appreciate an opportunity to speak with you about opportunities at your company.
I am currently in California with an H1b visa that is easily transferable to another company. Therefore I kindly request that if you would like to discuss any openings in your company, please contact me via email or phone at your convenience. Should you find that my professional profile fits your needs, we could then set up a meeting or a phone discussion at your earliest convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

Develop and maintain the automation scripts for content ingestion, preview generation, screenshots capturing and video transcoding for the Vuze Open Platform.
* The script basically generates screenshots, a 30s. flash preview, and a transcoded version of any content we receive to an MKV containing a h264 video track and an OggVorbis audio track. Standardizing all the incoming videos to a single format is a very exiting and challenging when you know how many formats and codecs are out there ! * I developed a Java application which is used internally by the content ingestion team to pick the best screenshots of a premium video before it gets published. This tool boosted their production by more than 500% (on that particular task). * I also developed all the automation scripts for the featured content either received via physical hard drives or RSS feeds. * My very first project in this company was to work on an embedded version of there P2P client which would run on devices with very limited cpu and memory. This task involved research around the best approach, cross-compiling of low level c code, code optimizations and interaction with their hardware partner to have the product fit their needs. * An other project I did on my free time was developing the flash preview player. |
