Verance is the leading global provider of watermarking technology for content protection and interactive TV experiences. • Developed applications and automated unit-tests to implement provenance/authenticity validation via audio/video watermarking. The technology is used within the c2pa standard to protect published media content from AI manipulation (aka “deep fakes”).• Built a web application (HTML5) to test CTV (Connected TV) WebSocket APIs. The web application was distributed to TV manufacturers (LG, Hisense, etc.) to validate compliance with the A/344 standard (ATSC 3.0 Interactive Content).• Integrated AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Meta Llama) into the development toolchain to accelerate prototyping of applications and unit tests. Leveraged these tools to reduce the timeframe for delivering proof-of-concept implementations by up to 50%, enhancing efficiency and responsiveness to management requests.• Managed small teams of software engineers for the development of Cinavia applications used by the major Motion Picture Studios (Sony/Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, etc.) to protect theatrical releases via audio watermarks. Some of the releases protected by Cinavia were the recipients of academy awards for sound.• Responsible for the development of rigorous validation procedures for various applications/libraries. These software products were integrated in professional audio/video equipment used by various National and local broadcasting companies (Fox, Sinclair Broadcast Group, etc.)• Responsible for the software development of an embedded system (Raspberry Pi board) to process TV broadcasts embedded with Aspect watermarks, and deliver audience measurement data to AWS web-services. The data was instrumental for our sales team to demonstrate the company’s ability to provide audience ratings services to various TV broadcasting companies.• Participated in the development of interactive technology adopted by the next-gen digital TV standard (ATSC 3.0)

Developer of digital video security systems using Cubic patented compression technology.• Worked with a team of software/hardware/QA engineers to produce networked audio/video surveillance applications (DVR). cVideo DVRs were installed nationwide in thousands of locations for retailers like Starbucks and 7-eleven, and was adopted as the digital surveillance solution for Super Bowl XXVII at Qualcomm Stadium.• Involved in the entire process of software development: requirements specification, architectural design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.Coordinated Software Projects: • Responsible for the development of the application’s access control exploiting the Windows 2000 server security API. • Developed a complex audio streaming component. The design includes audio sampling, audio compression, audio/video synchronization, audio buffering, network transmission (TCP/IP). • Implemented automated build and installation scripts using nMake, InstallShield and PackageForTheWeb. Responsible for the maintenance, upgrade, and integration of the scripts. • Assisted with several complex R&D Projects associated to networking technologies. • Designed customized testing applications to retrieve DVR’s network bandwidth usage statistics. • Performed thorough data analysis on the test results. Researched and developed solutions for an improved network bandwidth limitation logic. • Designed, implemented, and analyzed the performance of advanced multimedia buffering schemes to reduce network jitter. Led the R&D effort for the design and development of a custom medical DVR: • Developed software for specialty audio/video capture cards • Designed and implemented custom software driver for third-party LCD display (RS-232) • Integrated commercial library for real-time DVD audio-video recording.• Managed QA automated testing process including automated test scripts. • Assisted with customer support and field installations.
