Jeff Torres

I'm Jeff. Eight years writing software, the last two on live streaming: at work, a low-latency streaming SDK that runs on Android, iOS, living room devices and the web; on my own time, an RTMP server in Rust and the packaging layer that comes after it. Most of my code is C++ and Rust, with Kotlin and TypeScript where the platform demands it. Most of my interest is in the transport: UDP, RTP, QUIC, and what happens to a stream between the encoder and the player once the network stops cooperating.

The problems I go looking for are the ones where the spec runs out. Reading the RFC gets you a parser. Getting video from a bodycam to a browser across a thousand concurrent streams without falling over is a different job, and the interesting part is everything the document didn't say. This site is where I write that part down: things that broke, things I got wrong, worked through until I could explain the reason and not just the fix. If it saves you a week, it did its job.

Outside of that I go to the gym, play drums, record guitar, and read more about aircraft than is strictly useful.

Btw, if something here is wrong, tell me. I'd rather fix it.
