Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Edwards is a seasoned software engineer with roots in programming since 1994 and a focused rekindling of "fun" development work since 2015. He brings 13 years of professional experience and deep hands-on expertise in Go (since 1.1), building developer-facing tools like CLIs, TUIs, Emacs integrations and back-end services. His open-source contributions include extending Go bindings for FFmpeg, where he added codec functions and constants—evidence of strong low-level understanding of multimedia and C-to-Go interfacing. Complementing his engineering skills, he holds security certifications (A+, Network+, Security+, CISSP) and has done DevOps work, blending secure operations with tooling. Based in Taylorsville, NC, he’s open to remote roles and prefers projects that emphasize practical tooling and developer productivity. An early JavaScript tinkerer and occasional Wired contributor, he combines long-term curiosity with modern, systems-level craftsmanship.

Contributions summary:Steven contributed to the `goav` repository, a Golang binding for FFmpeg. Their work primarily involved adding missing functions and defining constants related to FFmpeg codecs, specifically integrating `Avcodec_encode_video2` functionality. Further contributions included importing and sorting codec constants from the `avcodec.h` header file, demonstrating a focus on expanding the library's capabilities within the Golang environment. These changes suggest a deep understanding of FFmpeg's internal structure and the requirements for its Go bindings.
