Phil works with our client, TelevisaUnivision, on their flagship video platform, ViX. He is one of the leads for the CMS tools that support editorial programming across the board for on-demand video browsing, sports, live linear programming, and more. The team maintains a high scale API service that supports millions of active viewers. Not only is Phil one of the top code contributors to the CMS tool, he also takes the reins on a lot of the interactive and user experience design. There is a lot of complexity behind content management. I will highlight a few. ViX content is subject to very specific geo-rules and access tiers for paid subscribers and ad supported viewers. Editors need to manage scheduling, drafts/revisions, re-use of programming elements, and a myriad of image assets. Phil has been a part of the design of this system since the very beginning, and crafted a tool that editors are delighted to use. Phil started out as an individual contributor on the project, and has since stretched himself and grown into a leader. He has become a mentor to several team members, and helped them grow and stay motivated as well. Phil cares deeply about doing things well and with urgency, and expects the same of those around him. He is the go-to owner for any front-end CMS issues. He's developed great relationships with editors and other stakeholders. He has organized a great deal of work, creating tickets for tasks, and facilitating technical discussions. Phil does whatever it takes to make a successful product, and he is a force multiplier for any team. He puts on different hats as engineer, designer, and product manager. He is beloved by TelevisaUnivision, and I am grateful he is part of the Apollo team, too."
