Why Learn From a Practitioner
Built StreamKit SDKDesigned and shipped the production-grade HTML5 player SDK the courses are modeled on — HLS, DASH, multi-DRM, IMA ads, live streaming.
Production-Proven, Not Theoretical20+ years of real deployments — OTT platforms, live broadcasters, enterprise streaming, AWS Elemental migrations.
Full-Stack CoverageSame person who teaches player engineering also built the ad tech, encoding and live broadcast systems — no hand-offs between specialists who only know one layer.
Still Actively ConsultingRuns StreamKit's consulting practice at streamkit.in — course material reflects what's currently being built for clients, not a frozen curriculum.
