I joined Netflix as a Software Engineer (L3) in June 2024.
My work centers on Android playback systems, where reliability and performance matter at massive scale.
Key outcomes from this role so far:
- Designed and maintained playback features in the Netflix Android app using Java and Kotlin.
- Collaborated with senior engineers to improve confidence in media player live and ads capabilities.
- Helped deliver a 30% improvement in performance/integration testing for that media player area.
- Improved developer testing workflows by streamlining device selection in an Android lab with 900+ devices.
- Led Android codec deprecation work (including AV1 transition efforts), with reported impact above $3M in annual cost savings through more efficient streaming operations.
This role continues to shape how I think about quality: strong test systems, measurable performance gains, and clear engineering communication.
