Team context Historical streaming product work spanning Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Fire TV, and Roku.

Built for each screen

The work centered on how viewers find and watch media across screens. Apple TV and iPhone/iPad contributions included redesign and rebrand work, trickplay, advertising playback, media content, thumbnails, and video overlays. Those details supported television navigation and mobile interaction while accounting for the different ways each platform presents and controls streaming media.

Supported the wider platform team

The primary hands-on work covered Apple TV and iPhone/iPad. Fire TV and Roku contributions supported the developers working on those platforms through technical leadership, code review, testing, and CI/CD setup and management. This was a historical team contribution across the broader streaming product, not sole authorship of every platform feature.
