I’m Roland Kákonyi, a Senior Software Engineer in Vienna focused on media technology and developer platforms. I build high‑performance video playback experiences and SDKs across Apple platforms (iOS/tvOS/watchOS), React Native, and the web.

At Bitmovin, I contribute across feature design, implementation, and production support for our AI‑driven video workflows (Scene Analysis) and our player technology on Apple platforms. For our Scene Analysis project, I leverage my expertise in Vertex AI and Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) to build powerful machine learning solutions for video content. I also lead development of the React Native Player SDK.

I’m especially experienced in streaming and playback integrations like HLS and FairPlay Streaming. I care about clean architecture, robust systems, and great developer experience—shipping products that are fast, reliable, and easy to integrate.

For the detailed timeline, see Work Experience.

Personal

I grew up in Hungary and currently live in Vienna, Austria. I'm a husband and father of one.

In my free time, I'm an avid NFL fan, especially the Seattle Seahawks. I also enjoy action sports — skateboarding, snowboarding, and wave surfing are my top outdoor activities when I'm not coding.
