Phynd is redefining big‑screen gaming: a free, ad‑supported cloud platform (Samsung Gaming Hub beta 2026; LG next) streaming console‑grade Windows games to Smart TVs and making “build once, run everywhere” real across fragmented TV OSes and hardware. I build the seamless integration: low‑latency WebRTC delivery, full input support (remote, phone, gamepad), and cross‑TV interoperability for real‑time media at scale.

At Castlabs I work across professional services and custom media‑stack projects, integrating and supporting our products as they embed into partner and internal systems. I also build frontier tech proofs‑of‑concept, including new MPEG‑DASH extensions from draft specs. The work centers on DRM streaming across DASH/HLS/CMAF, GStreamer and EME paths, delivering format‑correct protected playback on web, mobile, TV and STB targets.

Since 1997 I have worked as an independent engineer; since 2023 that work runs through my Poland-based B2B entity, Oprogramowanie Roman Ryltsov. It umbrellas the contract and consulting engagements detailed in this CV — spanning broadcast-recording stabilization to cloud gaming — while side projects range from FX-market trading and Dolby reference-code work to Amazon GameLift, Proton/Wine, and high color-depth codec work extending The Imaging Source's software for film scanning and archival.

Contract specialist for media recording/storage on Siemens Simcenter Testlab / SCADA RS REC, designing and implementing the video‑recording subsystem. Integrated cameras as first‑class sensors and delivered a robust recording/storage pipeline. Shipped in release 2406.0001, enabling up to six synchronized video streams captured in lockstep with the platform’s analog and digital measurement data.

As Rainway’s first engineer, I built the peer‑to‑peer game‑streaming backend: capturing, encoding and transporting gameplay over low‑latency WebRTC from a player’s PC to remote desktop and mobile clients. Our real‑time SDK was later integrated into Xbox Cloud Gaming, with my code among the components enabling browser and iOS support. I also invented a US‑patented encoding method (No. 11,470,137). Rainway shut down in 2022.

A decade of C++ work on the Volicon Media Intelligence Platform, a 24/7 broadcast monitoring and compliance product under Verizon/Oath. I built its real‑time audio loudness monitoring subsystem, engineered to FCC CALM Act, ATSC A/85 and SCTE 197. My broader work spanned encoding, recording and media processing, integrating capture hardware and codecs into the platform for continuous, format‑correct operation.

As the first engineer hired after the founders of Luxriot Video Management System, I designed and authored most of the original product and built the engineering base the company still relies on. Luxriot secures military bases, airports, nuclear plants and other critical sites worldwide; by 2012 it controlled over 1,000,000 cameras. It continues to run in high‑profile government, commercial and military deployments for over a decade.
