Summary
Ian Cummings is a senior software engineer with 13 years of modern experience and a long career driving embedded and broadcast-video systems, currently developing next-generation rasterizers and waveform monitors at PHABRIX. He combines deep C++ expertise (14 years), Python and MySQL skills with OO design and distributed, multi-threaded systems experience gained across Quantel, Snell Advanced Media and Grass Valley. Ian has led teams to deliver complex, deadline-driven products—such as an agile TV sports replay system deployed to international broadcasters—and brings certified Scrum mastery to cross-disciplinary hardware-software projects. Based in Newbury, England, he is pragmatic under pressure, communicates clearly, and focuses on reliable, high-quality deliveries. A practical engineer at heart, he’s as comfortable designing low-level media pipelines as he is integrating cloud-native components for modern broadcast platforms.
