Reduced information asymmetry in the Filecoin network by simplifying storage provider stats.

Blockchain Engineer | Researcher
BUIDL Labs
2020 - 2021
Built a decentralized video streaming API using Livepeer (video transcoding) & Filecoin (p2p storage): file.video. Reduced video streaming costs by 90% and storage costs by 4000x, compared to web 2.0 alternatives. Developed a decentralized DRM via forensic watermarking of videos using GANs (generative adversarial networks), followed by transcoding in the livepeer network. This lets us reduce transcoding costs by 90%, while preventing content piracy.

Ported MacPorts Buildbot (CI/CD) Infrastructure from version 0.8 to 2.x. Developed a custom views plugin for Buildbot that enables writing UI components in modern frameworks like Vue/React.js instead of Angular.js (supported in Buildbot by default). Scaled Buildbot for large instances (to support >25k builds at once): commits.
