Top SchoolShawn Van Every is a media-focused developer, researcher, and educator with 15+ years building mobile, streaming, and interactive media systems from concept to production. As Chair of ITP/IMA at NYU and long-time faculty, he blends hands-on engineering (Android, WebRTC, FFmpeg pipelines, real-time media) with curriculum leadership and academic research. He consults through Walking Productions on complex streaming, encoding/transcoding, and location-aware mobile projects, bridging legacy broadcast workflows and modern web/native platforms.
