Video distribution built for global media workflows.
Built video-distribution architecture and multi-tenant APIs serving media workflows for BBC, Disney, CNN, Channel 4 and Fox.
01
The challenge
- Video needed to move reliably through ingest, transcoding and distribution across partner workflows.
- Engineering teams needed reproducible environments and isolated ways to test changes.
02
What I built and led
- Built video-distribution architecture covering ingest, transcoding and distribution.
- Developed multi-tenant asset-management APIs for video workflows.
- Introduced reproducible Vagrant environments and Docker environments for individual pull requests.
- Implemented Apache Mesos orchestration and CDN/nginx caching.
03
What changed
- The platform supported video distribution and asset-management workflows for global media organisations.
- Reproducible development and pull-request environments improved the foundations for independent testing and delivery.
