Contributed to the libsdl-org/aom repository by developing and optimizing video encoding features in C, with a focus on algorithm and performance improvements. Delivered RD-cost based pruning for compound mode evaluations and inter transform splits, reducing unnecessary computations and increasing encoding throughput while maintaining output quality. Addressed multi-threaded consistency by correcting intra mode rate calculations, ensuring accurate encoding across threads. In a subsequent update, improved screen content decision accuracy by refining palette pixel counting logic after palette mode finalization. Demonstrated expertise in C programming, algorithm optimization, and performance benchmarking, with changes validated through bit-exact builds and measurable performance metrics across resolutions.
April 2026: Focused on correctness and stability in the aom encoding path. No new user-facing features were released this month; main work was a critical bug fix with measurable impact on screen content decision accuracy. Change ensures palette_pixels is counted only after palette mode finalization in encode_superblock, improving decision accuracy with marginal performance impact and targeted applicability to select content.
