Top SchoolSilviu Caragea is a Chief Software Architect with 11+ years building high-performance telecom and real-time messaging platforms, specializing in Erlang, C/C++ and low-level WebRTC. He has led architecture and re-engineering efforts to run tens of millions of calls daily with minimal resources, combining deep protocol expertise (SIP, RTP/RTCP, STUN/TURN, XMPP/Jingle) with pragmatic system-level optimizations. A prolific open-source author, he created high-performance Erlang drivers (erlcass, erlkaf) and a zstd binding (ezstd) used by Discord to cut WebSocket traffic, and has contributed to WebRTC and ClickHouse. Based in Romania, Silviu blends hands-on systems programming with platform-level design, routinely reworking FreeSWITCH/OpenSIPS and storage/search stacks (Cassandra, Kafka, ElasticSearch) to squeeze out latency and cost gains. Notably, he continues to push AI-driven innovations into VoIP, applying C++ and Erlang to fraud detection and intelligent call routing.
