The flagship product — AI-powered video interviewing used by hundreds of the world's largest companies and millions of candidates. We rebuilt the platform for global scale and reliability on AWS, supporting both live and on-demand interview workflows with structured evaluation and AI-assisted insights.

AI-Powered Assessments

Machine learning for hiring decisions

We built the ML models that analyzed video interviews to help predict candidate performance — processing thousands of data points per interview. This was cutting-edge and controversial work. We took the ethical dimensions seriously, building bias detection (patented) and adverse impact correction directly into the system.

CodeVue

Technical coding assessments

A coding assessment platform with 200+ challenges across Python, Java, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, C++ and more. Combined coding exercises with video interviews so you could evaluate how someone thinks, not just whether they can pass a test. Included code playback to review the candidate's actual problem-solving process.

HireVue Coach

Video-based sales training

A training and development tool that used video and predictive analytics to help sales teams improve. Reps would record practice pitches and get AI-driven feedback on their delivery, product knowledge, and customer engagement.

Sorenson Communications

Director of Engineering, Mobile Products · 2009–2011 · Salt Lake City, UT

Sorenson ntouch Video Relay Service app

The leading provider of Video Relay Services to the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. We shipped 5 products across multiple platforms — all on time or ahead of schedule. This was technology that made a direct, daily difference in people's ability to communicate.

ntouch PC

Desktop video relay software

Turned any PC with a webcam into a full-featured Sorenson videophone. Users could make Video Relay Service calls, voice carry-over calls, and point-to-point calls right from their computer — no special hardware needed.

ntouch Mobile

First iPhone & Android VRS apps

Sorenson's first mobile apps for iOS and Android — bringing Video Relay Service to smartphones for the first time. This was huge for the Deaf community. Suddenly you could make a relay call from anywhere, not just from home.

Mobile CaptionCall

Captioned phone calls on mobile (later rebranded CaptionCall Mobile)

Real-time captions for phone calls on mobile devices. Built for people with hearing loss who could still use some voice but needed captions to follow along. Free to qualifying users through the federal program.

BuzzCards

Communication flashcard app

A simple, clever app for communicating with people who don't know sign language. Like a deck of flashcards — type a message, show it to the person you're talking to. You could create and store cards ahead of time or make them on the fly. Launched on iOS and Android.

Pepun

Co-Founder & CTO · 2009–2013

Streaming and monetization platform for premium content and pay-per-view subscribers, primarily focused on the Latin American market.

Move Networks

VP of Engineering · 2006–2009 · Provo & Salt Lake City, UT · Acquired by EchoStar/Dish

ABC.com Full Episode Player powered by Move Networks — streaming Lost, Desperate Housewives, and Grey's Anatomy in HD

We built the world's leading HD video streaming platform for premium content — and along the way, helped invent adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR), the foundational technology behind how Netflix, YouTube, and every modern streaming service delivers video today. Built the team from 8 to 55 engineers.

Move Player

HD video streaming player · Installed 50M+ times across 180 countries

This was the product that blew people's minds. HD video streaming in a web browser — in 2007. The player powered Fox.com, ABC.com, ESPN360, NFL, CW, Televisa, and ProSieben. We set the record for the most simultaneous streaming viewers on the internet. We partnered with Microsoft to live-stream the Democratic National Convention in HD via Silverlight. By 2008 we were streaming 60% of the most popular TV shows online — 55 million unique viewers watching over 100 million hours of HD content in a single year.

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming

US Patent 7,818,444 · Filed 2004, granted 2010

The core innovation: automatically adjusting video quality in real-time based on available bandwidth. This solved the fundamental problem of streaming HD video over unpredictable internet connections. The patent was awarded in 2010, and the technique became the foundation for streaming technology adopted by nearly every major video provider worldwide.

World Wide Packets

Chief Architect & Director of Embedded Software · 2001–2006 · Spokane, WA · Acquired by Ciena

World Wide Packets LightningEdge LE-311v switch

Carrier-grade Ethernet platforms — the infrastructure that let telecom carriers deliver voice, video, and data over a single network. We shipped over 70,000 units to 100+ customers in 25 countries. I served as a voting member of the IEEE 802.1 standards committee for 5 years.

LightningEdge LE-311v

Service Delivery Switch

The product I'm most proud of from the WWP years. A 24-port carrier-grade Ethernet service delivery switch that could handle everything from residential triple-play to business Ethernet services. Rock-solid reliability in a 1U form factor. Deployed across major carrier networks worldwide.

LightningEdge LE-3300

Aggregation Switch

The big aggregation switch — sat at the center of carrier networks tying together all the access devices. We called it the LE-4400 internally during development; it shipped as the LE-3300. This was the backbone of the product line, connecting all the edge access devices into a unified carrier network.

LightningEdge LE-210

Access Portal

The small-form-factor residential access device — the box that went into buildings and homes to deliver Ethernet-based services. Part of the full family that included the LE-310 and other access models, deployed everywhere from apartment buildings to enterprise branch offices.

The full LightningEdge family

LE-310, LE-317, LE-327, LE-410, LE-427, and more

A complete product line from small access portals to large modular switches. Deployed at scale by AT&T, Virgin Media (NTL/Telewest), KPN, Comcast, and Clearwire. OEM partnerships with Lucent, Ericsson, and Tellabs. These were the boxes that brought Ethernet-everywhere to major carrier networks.

Oresis Communications
