Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAmir Naghdinezhad is a technical lead and senior video codec engineer with seven years at Intel and over a decade in multimedia research and product development. He specializes in video compression standards (H.264/HEVC, MPEG, JPEG2000) and has led SVT-AV1 rate-control and ultra-low-latency optimizations as well as performance and speed-memory-BDRate trade-off improvements across SVT codecs. Equally comfortable in C/C++, Java, Matlab and hardware description languages (VHDL/Verilog), he bridges algorithm research and production-grade encoder/decoder implementations. His background spans real-time conferencing and VOD solutions, visual-quality research (blurriness, flicker, blockiness) and unequal error protection for scalable video, reflecting both academic depth from McGill and hands-on silicon-aware design. Based in Vancouver, he combines rigorous PhD-level research experience with pragmatic leadership driving widely used open-source codec engines.
