Hi, I'm Gianni.

I'm a student & programmer who really likes digital compression. I build video & image compression technology, accessible encoding tools, and public compression resources. My favorite codecs are AV1, JPEG XL, and QOI. I enjoy working with C and Zig.

On my site, you'll find blog posts about multimedia & data compression algorithms, consumer electronics, my encoding tools, and potentially more in the future. Enjoy your stay, and feel free to connect with me via the social icons at the bottom of this page!

Some of what I work on includes:

• Eve-AV1 & Eve-VP9, commercial encoders developed by Two Orioles for high-impact use cases at scale
• SVT-AV1-PSY, a fork of the SVT-AV1 encoder with a focus on perceptual quality
• The Codec Wiki, a public resource for digital compression knowledge
• Aviator, an AV1 encoding GUI

You can find more on my GitHub. I also enjoy contributing to open-source projects, including the mainline SVT-AV1 project.
