2010 - 2014
In 2010 LSI did a Pivot and got out of the Deep Packet Inspection and video business. I started doing some freelance consulting on video encoding and compression. At this time Les Zoltan at DVEO had a customer who needed a custom solution built. Les contacted me to help design and bring to market. This became the Multistreamer, Gearbox, Proxicaster and Delay Server line of business.
