Summary
Kjeld Kahn is a streaming video engineer and DevOps-focused developer with 13+ years building high-availability CDN and OTT PaaS solutions for live and VOD workflows. He architects and operates scalable, cloud-first streaming stacks—Wowza, NGINX, Unified Streaming—packaged in Docker with DRM, SAI and multi-cloud/hybrid deployments to handle heavy failover traffic. At KPN he develops B2B media services while running his own ventures and startups, bringing both product-level strategy and hands-on implementation. His toolkit spans Python, PHP, Bash, MySQL, AWS/GCP services, ElasticSearch and CDNs, and he pairs platform work with camera/production experience from Event TV. Comfortable tuning cost-versus-scale tradeoffs, he prefers cloud elasticity over traditional datacenters and enjoys adapting enterprise-grade streaming for smaller clients. Certified drone pilot and videographer, he blends operational rigor with an eye for media UX and real-world production constraints.
