“At Net2TV, I reported to Spencer, Net2TV's CTO. In my opinion, he was an excellent CTO - always up-to-date with the latest technology, had extensive technical knowledge, was very hard working, and made right choice when it came down to choosing a software. His development process was focused on TDD, performance, and modularized and easily maintainable code. As a result of that process, our Portico application was robust! Whenever any request came from the business team, he always figured out a way to implement new features, no matter how hard it was, and always found a way to fulfill that request within the deadline. He implemented a huge part of the server side of the Portico application and continuously improved the code base. He writes code extraordinarily! When it comes to people management, he is one of the most excellent managers I have ever seen. He was very helpful and cooperative to his team members and knew how to get best out of a person without making the person unhappy. He was always on time and open to the other people's ideas. I have learned a lot of things from him and really enjoyed working with him. It will be my pleasure to work with him again.”

Managing media player sound output
Issued US 8,938,674
A method includes initiating media player instances for producing output by execution on an electronic device. Each of the media player instances is implemented using a modular framework on the electronic device configured to have each of multiple types of media player runtimes implemented therein and to host modules that configure any of the types of media player runtimes for respective device types. The method includes determining, using a sound module of the modular framework, which of the…
