Director of Engineering for Seismic's Content Platform services and experiences. I lead multiple global engineering teams building the platform level microservices and shared frontend components delivering common tooling, capabilities, and user experiences at the core of how Seismic renders, augments, and views content. Our platform is leveraged by the application teams within Seismic to quickly enable their own capabilities.My teams are responsible for the main content viewing component and its backend services, the content rendition services, the video platform, the unified components for upload and download, and content hosting, editing, and augmentation services. I've lead the team to develop wide ranging features that crossed Seismic's applications quarter over quarter.Most recently we delivered a new video platform across Seismic. I drove the coordination and execution of over 20 integrations with other teams across Seismic in 4 months. This was followed by coordinating and driving the enablement of our entire customer base and migrating their 1.5 million videos to the new platform successfully over a 3 month window.
