Narta D is a seasoned software engineer based in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, with 11 years of experience building high-performance C/C++ systems and full-stack features for live streaming tools. They have contributed notable work to prominent open-source projects like OBS Studio and the StreamFX plugin, implementing real-time video filters, transitions, and hardware-aware UI enhancements. As a freelance consultant and former contributor at companies such as Elgato, Streamlabs, and Caffeine, they blend hands-on development (DirectX/Vulkan/OpenGL, FFmpeg, Qt) with project and QA management across Agile and non-Agile environments. Comfortable across the stack, they also design IPC/RPC systems and optimized data pipelines for low-latency streaming. Colleagues can rely on their practical problem-solving—fixing threading, memory, and security issues in CEF and OBS—while they quietly balance meticulous engineering with a creative streak visible in custom shaders and effects.
