Summary
John Feras is a freelance software engineer with roughly two decades of hands-on experience spanning mobile apps, video streaming, embedded microcontroller systems, and blockchain. He has built production Android and iOS apps and libraries, implemented DRM and high-performance video delivery systems for major cable infrastructure, and developed microcontroller-based medical device prototypes using ST Microsystems frameworks. Equally comfortable in high-level languages (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Crystal) and low-level C/C++, he has contributed to blockchain projects (Umbra, SushiChain) and optimized consensus and privacy protocols for production readiness. His work blends practical product delivery—shipping apps like ScopeSpeaker and Social Talker—with deep systems expertise in video codecs, DRM, and real-time network performance tuning. Based in North Wales, PA, he continually explores new trends and is migrating mobile clients to Flutter while leveraging Crystal server components for C-like execution speed.
