I design and implement the critical algorithm logic that powers real-
time systems: lock-free data structures, custom memory allocators,
ring-buffer pipelines, and signal processing engines on embedded
SoCs. This work has boosted H.265 encoder throughput by 20%,
reduced drone radio setup errors by 15%, and cut end-to-end video
latency by 25% on live 1080p feeds.On the application layer, I
