PROFILE
Geir Bakke
Geir Bakke developed and enhanced real-time media streaming features in the whereby/sdk repository, focusing on WebRTC reliability, connection management, and analytics. He introduced robust SDP negotiation and error handling, implemented feature-flag-driven STUN server configuration, and built the VegaConnectionManager to improve SFU connection resilience. Geir refactored screensharing logic to support multiple presenters and consolidated SFU connection flows for maintainability. He upgraded mediasoup-client, enabled asynchronous device detection, and streamlined reconnection logic to reduce failures. Using JavaScript, TypeScript, and MediaSoup, his work addressed cross-browser compatibility, performance optimization, and observability, demonstrating depth in backend and frontend engineering for scalable, stable media experiences.

3 Commits • 3 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for wherebSDK focusing on performance, analytics, and scalability enhancements. Delivered three key features: (1) outgoing layer 0 height metric for video streams to improve analytics and observability; (2) dynamic simulcast tuning under CPU overuse to maintain performance on constrained devices; (3) increased screenshare capacity to 3 simultaneous streams when simulcast is disabled to boost collaboration throughput. No major bugs reported in this period; bug-fix work was aligned with feature delivery and stabilization of the media pipeline. Technologies demonstrated include media pipeline instrumentation, conditional metrics for live video tracks, simulcast management, CPU-overuse detection, and thresholds-based capacity planning. Business impact includes improved observability, reduced CPU contention, and higher concurrent screen sharing enabling better collaboration and reliability across customers.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary for whereby/sdk focusing on reliability, connection robustness, and cross-browser compatibility in the WebRTC stack. Delivered default WebRTC reconnection logic by removing the sfuReconnectV2 feature flag, upgraded mediasoup-client to 3.15.2 with asynchronous device detection, and removed Safari17Handler in line with the updated client. These changes simplify the connection flow, reduce reconnection failures, and shorten connect times, delivering tangible business value: smoother user experiences, fewer support tickets, and faster feature rollout. Technologies demonstrated include mediasoup-client 3.15.2, asynchronous device detection, and a leaner WebRTC stack.
