I am a software developer specializing in visual applications with both low and high-level code, particularly in the areas of OpenGL and digital video on embedded Linux, Android and Windows. I am currently assisting some disruptive start-ups with architectural design and implementation of 3D graphics and video acceleration using OpenGL ES on Android and embedded Linux for digital signage and video teleconferencing applications with bleeding-edge performance that is only possible by pushing the limits of advanced visual APIs on the latest multi-core SoC technologies. With this blog, I hope to share some practical solutions I have found to real world problems in visual computing that are not well known or documented elsewhere.
