Eldar Musayev’s Summary

Software architecture, design and development, multiple platforms, languages and developer environments, software project management, including outsourced projects.

While I am not actively looking for a job, I won't say "no" to a genuine offer. Ability to apply my math skills (e.g. quantitative risk analysis, time series forecast) would make an offer more genuine. At this time I would only consider permanent positions in the Greater Seattle area (Eastside preferred). Yes, I know it's a recession out there. That could be one of the reasons why you need me.

Also I have highly qualified friends (usually East Coast or Greater Seattle Area) who may occasionally be looking for opportunities and I can wholeheartedly recommend. So, don't hesitate to ask if you want to.

Eldar Musayev’s Experience

  • SDE (Zune Video)

    Microsoft

    (Public Company; MSFT; Computer Software industry)

    February 2008Present (1 year 10 months)

    Silverlight 2.0 C#: I wrote ~9,000 lines managed multiple bitrate media source (the component responsible for getting media from the Internet, parsing it and feeding it into the Media Foundation pipeline). It also included some native C++ code shipped inside the Silverlight 2.0.

    This solution was used by NBC to broadcast 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and show case Silverlight 2.0 capabilities.

    This media source was later updated and released as part of IIS/Expressions Smooth Media solution. It is also used in some third-party applications for smooth media streaming.

    The work also included Asp.Net C# code for the backend and analytical processing of collected data for monitoring media source, application and CDN (Content Delivery Network) performance.

    Since that, I continue to work on additional smooth streaming clients, primarily in C++ and Media Foundation framework on PowerPC platrform.
