Drive decisions on frameworks, rendering strategies, and performance optimization, creating clear architectural documentation to guide development.

Engage with Customers

Partner with sales engineers during pre‑sales to provide UI/UX guidance and work with customer success teams to ensure seamless onboarding and customization of front‑end experiences.

Optimize Video Playback

Design and integrate video player frameworks (ExoPlayer, AVPlayer, HTML5, or SmartTV‑specific players) for smooth playback, adaptive bitrate streaming (HLS/DASH), and DRM support.

Optimize for low latency, accessibility, and device‑specific constraints.

Promote best practices in modular UI design, performance optimization, and accessibility (WCAG).

Mentor front‑end engineers, conduct design and code reviews, and leverage AI programming tools to accelerate development workflows.
