Intro

Welcome to my website! I'm Caglar Togan, a Live Streaming & Broadcast Engineer specializing in cloud-based video delivery, live event monitoring, and streaming infrastructure optimization.

With a strong background in AWS Media Services, Python automation, and video encoding technologies, I help ensure smooth and high-quality streaming experiences for millions of viewers. From troubleshooting complex live events to optimizing playback performance with CDN solutions like Akamai, Fastly, and CloudFront, my goal is to enhance the future of video streaming.

Beyond engineering, I’m passionate about the latest advancements in video compression (H.264, HEVC, AV1) and adaptive bitrate streaming. Check out my projects to see how I solve real-world streaming challenges!

Work

I specialize in live streaming, video encoding, and cloud-based media workflows, ensuring seamless content delivery for large-scale broadcast operations. My expertise lies in managing live event streaming, troubleshooting complex video pipeline issues, and optimizing playback performance for global audiences.

Currently, I oversee **24 CBS local stations** for AWS cloud streaming, leveraging AWS Media Services (MediaLive, MediaPackage, MediaConnect, MediaStore) to deliver high-quality, low-latency streaming experiences. My work involves integrating HLS, DASH, SCTE-35 ad insertion, and CDN acceleration (Akamai, Fastly, CloudFront) to provide a reliable and scalable streaming infrastructure.

Beyond live event operations, I also develop **automation tools using Python and Bash** to enhance monitoring, logging, and alerting systems. From encoding optimization (H.264, HEVC, AV1) to real-time issue resolution, my focus is on delivering top-tier streaming solutions.
