Highlights

Development

I have successfully developed and deployed a wide range of applications, including cross-platform applications that work the same on both Windows and Linux. For example, I have developed and deployed a custom Soft Phone (in C++) for a local company. It works on both Linux and Windows.

VOIP (Voice over IP)

Working as a consultant for a U.S. client, I developed an auto-dialer application based on the Asterisk PBX that currently serves a school district of up to 35,000 students. The core of the application was developed in C/C++, and it featured a web front-end to control it.

I deployed and currently maintain the Asterisk-based VOIP network of a large media organization in Nairobi Kenya. The organization runs 5 FM stations and the VOIP network I manage spans 3 branches within the city. My work for this client has involved the development of extensive custom dial plans as well as billing modules.

I have a working knowledge of the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) standard.

Video on Demand and IPTV

I am the lead developer in an on-going effort to develop a complete Video on Demand platform which will include not only the standard media streaming capabilities, but also auxilliary modules such as those used for billing.

In this regard, I have a working knowledge of a wide range of the relevant platforms, including RTP/RTCP and RTSP.

Systems Admin

In a previous job, I was responsible for the admin and securing of 10 Linux servers based in the U.S. and New Zealand.
