Profile: https://flows.cv/jameshurley

I have been a software engineer in the live video business for more than 10 years. I have built live video broadcast and player sdks, media servers, peer to peer video sdks, and so on. My focus has largely been on mobile, but I have done some web and a good amount of backend work (see media servers) as well. Recently I have been doing some work on video processing using neural networks on the client side.
