Systems thatanswer inmilliseconds.

I'm Felipe, a senior software engineer working in Rust and Go. I build backends that can't be late — distributed systems, real-time media, and the infrastructure underneath them. Lately I've been building agentic AI systems too: LLM orchestration, long-term memory, and RAG, taken from prototype to production.

01 — Professional highlights

GPU-accelerated 8K virtual camera at 60 fps

A Rust web player for live sports that decodes 8K fisheye footage on NVIDIA T4s, crops a virtual camera, dewarps it in CUDA and ships it over WebRTC — every frame in under 16.7 ms.

Split the 8K decode across both NVDEC engines, correlating regions by PTS — stable 60 fps with no dropped frames while a puck crosses the rink.
Built an auto-tally director: XYZ tracking → PTZ → predictive, keyframe-scheduled cuts between physical cameras without losing a single output frame.

FOX · via X-TeamMar 2021 — May 2025

Live-streaming backend, from 6 minutes to 3 seconds

Infrastructure and operational visibility for FOX's live channels across the US: encoding health, manifests, dynamic ad insertion and viewer telemetry, correlated per channel in a continuous Go validation loop.

Profiled with pprof, heap analysis, tracing and flame graphs; cut the full validation loop from ~6 min to ~2–3 s and CPU/memory by 60%+.
Normalized heterogeneous provider data and validated dynamic ad insertion across streaming, encoding and advertising systems.
