Five years on HBO Max's core video player. Before that, full-stack at Johnson & Johnson. I like the parts where the browser is lying to you — MSE, EME, and the dark corners of HTMLMediaElement.
I'm a senior software engineer at HBO Max (Warner Bros. Discovery), where I work on the core media engine — a TypeScript-based video player powering tens of millions of daily streams across web browsers, smart TVs, and game consoles. My focus is on the deep, gnarly parts of video playback: EME/MSE, DRM integrations, and adaptive bitrate streaming.
Before streaming, I built internal tools and mobile apps at Johnson & Johnson, and I still enjoy working across the full stack. Outside of work, I tinker with side projects — from multiplayer games to generative AI pipelines — and I believe clear writing is an underrated engineering skill.
