Dovydas Joksas

I'm Dovydas. I build podcast infrastructure and have a background in electronic engineering and machine learning research.

I'm based in London, leading the development of Fountain's podcast and music hosting platform—covering audio and video delivery via open RSS, livestreaming, and paywalled content using programmatic payments. Before that, I founded RSS Blue, a podcast hosting platform focused on direct listener-to-creator payments, which was acquired by Fountain in 2024.

Before industry, I was a UK IC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UCL, researching cybersecurity threats to analog AI hardware—memristive and RRAM neural networks specifically—and developing defenses against adversarial attacks. My PhD, also at UCL focused on hardware acceleration of low-level machine learning operations.

I write here occasionally about open standards, podcasting, machine learning, and books I've read.
