Summary
Silas Parker is a seasoned software engineer with 12 years’ experience building embedded and server-side systems in C, C++ and Python, currently based in Bradford and working on SDN management for RF and PON headends. He has deep domain experience in conditional access and content protection for TV set-top boxes, including trusted execution environments and key-ladder designs for 4K security, and has led both embedded and backend development efforts. More recently he has been instrumental in designing and implementing Python REST microservices, performance-critical C conversions, and observability with Elasticsearch within a Kubernetes/NoSQL stack. Comfortable across low-level device protocols (SNMP, NETCONF, SSH) and high-level architectures, he blends hands-on coding with architectural collaboration. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, end-to-end solutions that bridge embedded constraints and cloud-native operations.
