David Le Corfec is a Video Tech Lead with 15 years of hands-on experience building video ingest, encoding and delivery systems, primarily in Go, for TF1 in the Greater Paris area. He combines deep systems and Linux expertise from a long operations background with modern cloud-native practices—containerized workloads on Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring and CI/CD. A pragmatic back-end engineer, he contributes to open-source tooling for media workflows (notably enhancing subtitle handling in astisub), reflecting attention to interoperability and data correctness. His career spans low-level C and assembly work on legacy platforms to large-scale production video pipelines, giving him unusual depth across the full stack of media technology. Colleagues rely on him for robust, production-focused solutions and subtle protocol-level fixes that keep broadcasts running.
