Hi guys. I must say I am really impressed by dev.to this looks really nice. I had exactly the same thoughts as Maricris as I first visited this site today: "How have I never heard of this place before?" ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm Dimitri and I work as a researcher at the Fraunhofer HHI in Germany. My work is mostly focused on high quality 360 video streaming. I am also involved in several standardization activities such as 3GPP and MPEG.
From coding perspective I am more a C++ & Python guy but I was also involved in some projects for Android and Unity so that Java and C# is not really a big deal for me now ๐Ÿ˜„
Last project of mine was a pure JavaScript implementation of a 360-degree video player based on the latest MPEG spec. At the same time, it was a great opportunity to learn some JS and I have to say that although I've read a lot of negative stuff about JS (mostly jokes how silly it is etc.) on the Internet, JS really impressed me. I'm a big fan now ๐Ÿ˜„

Have a nice day to all!
