PROFILE
Andy Grundman
Worked extensively on the LizardByte/Sunshine project, delivering features and fixes across audio, video, and cross-platform system integration. Developed and optimized real-time video streaming with C++ and GPU programming, introducing split frame encoding for multi-NVENC GPUs and fractional frame rate support to improve playback accuracy. Enhanced macOS and Windows compatibility by refining input handling, build automation, and dynamic tray icon configuration using CMake and bash scripting. Addressed deployment reliability through installer fixes and code signing, while improving streaming resilience with intra-refresh support in H.264/HEVC encoding. Maintained a focus on code quality, maintainability, and performance optimization throughout the development lifecycle.
