👤
SeniorTim Panton is a pragmatic software leader and entrepreneur with 14 years of recent experience and a multi-decade history of building networked systems, real-time media stacks, and secure IoT services. As Co-founder and CTO of pi.pe and owner of Westhawk, he designs and prototypes robust protocols and products that bridge legacy telephony, WebRTC, and connected-device security. He architected a fresh server-side WebRTC media stack and mobile SDKs, helped shape standards at the W3C/IETF, and has a track record of turning research prototypes (like YoPet) into practical Internet-of-Everything solutions. Comfortable across languages and platforms, he combines hands-on low-level protocol work with pragmatic product thinking.
