Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolViktor Grenke is a Co-founder and team leader with 10+ years of hands-on experience designing embedded systems, DSP algorithms, and end-to-end IoT products from silicon to cloud. He leads small multidisciplinary teams, architecting networked systems and custom hardware—including IP/HDR camera platforms, FPGA-based video processing, and Linux single-board solutions—while remaining a committed developer on projects like the popular Streamedian HTML5 RTSP player. His background blends academic rigor (PhD in digital processing and years teaching/researching signal analysis) with practical product delivery across startups and contractors such as INFARM, Nabto, and Panasonic. Viktor’s strengths are bridging low-level firmware, drivers and FPGA work with higher-level services (Node.js backends, VideoJS integration) and delivering robust recording/streaming features. He is based in Tbilisi and often works remotely, thriving on projects that require both novel hardware interfaces and mature software pipelines. An interesting less-obvious facet: he pairs formal research in acoustic and material signal analysis with real-world IoT control algorithms, giving him a unique edge in measurement-driven product design.
