Principal C++ Video/Audio Systems Engineer

Aaron Robinson is a Senior/Principal C++ systems engineer and solo founder with a deep background in performance-critical video/audio software, including HEVC/H.265 decoder implementation and optimization, x86/SSE and ARM/NEON assembly, advanced threading, lock-free algorithms, cross-platform native software, and production media systems. He recently built APU Software end-to-end, encompassing commercial C++20 audio software, CI/CD, licensing, websites, documentation, support, and product infrastructure. He has heavy experience with Python-based automation and modern AI-assisted development workflows, comfortable operating with high leverage across architecture, implementation, testing, documentation, and release engineering. He is looking for remote contract, contract-to-hire, or W-2 software engineering work involving C++/native performance, video/audio systems, real-time systems, developer tools, inference/runtime optimization, or hard production debugging. He prefers async-heavy teams and low-meeting environments.
