Senior Software Engineer

Promoted

Apr 2019Apr 2021 · 2 yrs

  • I focused on web video playback, especially streaming stability, quality, and experimentation. I created tooling, wrote dozens of AB tests, and analyzed results to ensure high quality code was released both to members and partners. I proposed and helped design a video playback workflow that leveraged production teams and code to help the pre/post production teams achieve high quality DRM'd playback. Was instrumental in the migration to a new streaming engine within the browser platform.
