I build products that have to survive the living room.
Senior Frontend Engineer and Connected TV Lead. Ten years of shipping web, mobile, and Smart TV applications - including apps built from scratch for Roku, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and other HTML5 TV platforms. That includes 2017-era hardware, Tizen 3, and devices that do not forgive a careless bundle.
The interesting work is rarely the happy path. It is playback on constrained SoCs, hosted Tizen/webOS shells that keep native APIs without store-review lock-in, polyfills, and a modern React/TypeScript stack that still boots on a TV from almost a decade ago.
I lead teams the same way I ship players: architecture first, then the ugly platform details, then production.
| What I actually shipped | |
|---|---|
| TV apps from scratch | Connected TV applications for Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Roku, and other HTML5 TV platforms - devices dating back to 2017. |
| Playback on legacy TVs | Platform-specific playback and performance work inside player codebases, including HLS.js, to keep Tizen 3 and other limited hardware alive. |
| Hosted Tizen & webOS | Hosted application architecture: native device APIs, updates that skip lengthy TV app-store review cycles. |
| Samsung AVPlay layer | Custom AVPlay-based player on Samsung TVs - better stability on older, weaker devices. |
| Modern stack, old silicon | React + TypeScript in production, with compatibility forks and polyfills where the hardware demands it. |
| OTT end to end | HLS, MPEG-DASH, CMAF, DRM, ads, live and VOD, device APIs - from manifest to first frame. |
This is the part most frontend résumés skip.
