Would you mind if I reached out to you? I have the same stuff, but I haven’t been able to find any good coaching or books on speech.

that's amazing! Do you have an email address where I can shoot you a message? I'd love to pick your brain on this tech (paid of course).

Hi, would you mind reaching out to me at username@gmail? I have had some experience with this problem myself.

Amazon Video | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | VISA | Software Engineer

I'm the Hiring Manager for the IPA(a pun on API) team at Amazon Prime Video. After you click the play button in our app, a huge number of services are used to provide the client with streaming video. Our team orchestrates, aggregates, and processes that data to provide the best experience for the customer's particular device.

We are looking for multiple engineers, from recent grad (or equivalent) to senior. Here's why you should consider joining our team!

* Flexibility of a Startup with Benefits of a Large Company

I come from a startup background and value personal responsibility. If you have errands or need to work from home, as long as the work is getting done it won't hurt the team. As a large company, Amazon also has excellent salaries/health insurance, and will provide visa/relocation assistance.

* Learning

I am very focused on my team's personal growth. We have started a library, we have brown bag/lunch & learn sessions, we have incredibly talented engineers who have weekly office hours, but we can always do more. Feel free to make suggestions!

* Scale

Prime Video operates on a tremendous scale - without giving exact numbers, we are responsible for close to 10% of the world's internet traffic! The challenges are vast and require strong design and architectures to scale cost-effectively.

Reach out to me directly with any questions, comments, or if you just want to say hi at `[email protected]`!

Can you point to some resources that teach Java "the right way"? Without the cultural baggage? I need to learn it for a new job and I'm inundated with resources that I can't determine the quality of.

Why do you think you'd be locked in? To switch from twilio to your own service, it's one LOC client side, and setting up your server. I don't see what would lock you in. If you need to host your own TURN server, you need to host it somewhere where bandwidth is cheap, so NOT aws. You can any lightsail, DO, etc. However, with a VPS, you're subject to instabilities from other users, so you may want to get your own instances from Hetzner/OVH. This is a lot of overhead as you see, so only do it if it's worth it.

I think putting your info in your profile would be a great first step. I'm interested, but have no way of contacting you!

In general, do sponsored blog posts on hardware sites - hackaday is a great first one. See if you can get adafruit, or tindie as well.

I'd be interested in that! I wonder how much it would cost to just host and serve via s3...

Do you have any contact info? I'd like to give this a shot as a pool player and a computer vision engineer.
