Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHassan Sahibzada is a senior software development engineer with eight years of experience building low-latency media and systems software, currently driving the Kinesis Video Streams SDK at AWS. He specializes in C/C++ back-end and embedded engineering for real-time video and WebRTC, contributing bug fixes and feature work to prominent open-source projects like awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-c and the producer SDK. His background spans security engineering at AWS, performance-sensitive media work at Datadog, and earlier research-driven roles in image processing and face recognition at NIST and industry, giving him a strong foundation in signal processing and robustness. Comfortable navigating both product-quality SDKs and low-level debugging across 32-bit/64-bit platforms, he pairs practical production experience with a research-oriented approach to algorithmic problems. Based in the Washington DC–Baltimore area, Hassan holds a BS in Physics and Mathematics from the University of Maryland and brings a habit of improving test suites and edge-case behavior that often goes unnoticed but prevents production incidents.
