Senior RTC / live-video help without hiring a full-time video CTO

I help product teams ship more reliable live video and real-time communication, cut media infra waste, and make practical AI bets on the media stack.

For Seed–Series B live, video, or RTC products that already have engineers, but no senior owner for media architecture.

How we work

• Architecture audit 1–2 weeks, fixed fee. Map failure modes, cost drivers, and the smallest set of changes that move reliability.
• Infra / AI readiness sprint 30 days. Harden media paths, clarify vendor vs build tradeoffs, and leave a backlog your team can execute.
• Fractional technical advisor About 5–8 hours/week. Design reviews, incident pattern reviews, hiring signal, and AI-on-media decisions.

Background

• 12 years in audio/video, live streaming, RTC, and mobile
• 3 years in tech management, including leading an AI transformation

Not a fit

• Pure coding outsourcing
• 24/7 on-call coverage
• Equity-only or no-budget idea chats
• Generic AI or management consulting with no media stack
