Sean Dubois is a Member of Technical Staff and veteran WebRTC engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building real-time media systems across companies like AWS, Twitch, Apple, and OpenAI. He is the creator of Pion, a pure-Go WebRTC stack (implementing DTLS, SRTP, SCTP, STUN, mDNS, etc.) and author of an open-source book that explains how WebRTC actually works, reflecting his passion for teaching and open communities. Sean’s contributions span low-level C/C++ security hardening (AWS Kinesis Video Streams SDK), systems work in OBS Studio and Janus, and full-stack projects integrating Go backends with React frontends and Dockerized deployments. Self-taught through The Recurse Center, he thrives without formal college credentials and consistently ships production-grade networking and media features, including WHIP/WHEP endpoints and TURN/STUN improvements. He favors projects that excite users and is as comfortable debugging DTLS record parsing as he is optimizing DevOps for SFUs. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he blends deep protocol expertise with a persistent drive to learn and contribute to open-source ecosystems.
