Piksel, formerly ioko / KIT digital, is a Video on Demand technology and service provider. I joined the London office in 2008 to build out the Project Kangaroo (SeeSaw.com) platform, and moved from an engineering into an architecture role. I was involved in both multiple high profile customers, including the BBC (UK), Channel 4 (UK), Celcom (MY) and FOXTEL (AU) - and also took care of Product Management/Platform Ownership for a product line (Media Services Framework, a modular Online Video Platform).

I drove the re-architecture of the Channel 4 platform from an on-premise monolith, to migration into microservices Cloud architecture. Started with 'easy wins' on cross platform digital media sites, typically related to television programmes, as a way to build confidence for the CxO team in Cloud. This led to the creation of a technical framework, management application and an architecture process -- later allowing the mass migration of core media workloads into Cloud. This innovation was passed on into the business itself, which helped 4oD launch on multiple new platforms at a significant pace.OTT video:* 4oD on PS3* 4oD on Xbox 360 (Winner of the IBC Innovation Award for Content Delivery)* 4oD on iOS* 4oD on Flash Mobile devices
