Initially leading the TVUI Core team, responsible for building and maintaining the UI of the flagship Netflix TV application for Smart TVs and connected devices. Since our in-house TV platform allows JavaScript execution, the team was leveraging a modified React to develop features.
Later, I created a team called TVUI Toolkit to focus on creating reusable components for UI engineers to reduce development time, rework, and duplicative implementations. Soon after, I started leading the TVUI Reach team, responsible for improving performance practices and increasing feature reach across devices. During my time leading these three teams, I also successfully onboarded and led a new manager for the Toolkit team.
Finally, I led the DVX Discovery Core team, which was responsible for implementing all the non-experimental Discovery features, code improvements, refactorings, and quality strategy across all platforms—iOS, Android, TV, and Web.
