Summary
š¤
SeniorOleg Kertanov is an R&D engineer with 15 years of hands-on experience building embedded, server-side, and web systems from low-level firmware to full-stack video delivery platforms. He has repeatedly delivered production-grade C/C++ solutions across embedded Linux, networking, and multimedia domains, including RTP/RTSP/SIP stacks, ffmpeg/libavcodec integration, and NVR server architectures. Currently based in Riga, he blends ongoing R&D at PARSIQ with senior systems engineering at Blockvis, applying deep Unix/Linux, POSIX, and performance optimization expertise. An active maintainer-style contributor on projects like an AirTunes emulator, he focuses on eliminating warnings, improving optimizations and code quality rather than flashy features. His background includes porting BSPs and kernel-level work, giving him a rare combination of firmware, kernel and application-layer fluency that accelerates cross-layer debugging and integration.
