Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Reinecke is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in video engineering and film production technology with 12 years of experience building scalable media pipelines and post-production tooling. Based in San Francisco, he designs and implements backend services for video processing and transcoding at Netflix, and previously built massively parallel FFmpeg-based pipelines on AWS Lambda and microservice architectures at PIX System. His work spans Python-centric back ends, timecode and editorial timeline tooling (notably contributions to the OpenTimelineIO project), and native apps for iOS/macOS—bridging artist-facing tools and low-level media formats like ISO BMFF. Comfortable across production and engineering domains, he pairs practical film production background with deep technical chops in frame-accurate media inspection, transcode abstraction, and pipeline automation. An entrepreneurially minded engineer, he also prototypes hardware and Raspberry Pi gadgets for media workflows, reflecting a hands-on approach to solving real-world production problems.
