Leading the video engineering and live ingestion teams at an Asia-Pacific streaming platform through the FIFA World Cup 2018 and the English Premier League.

The teams

Fifteen engineers across video engineering and live ingestion, on Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes.

The big events

We delivered the FIFA World Cup 2018 and the English Premier League live, with zero downtime across both.

We also integrated dynamic ad insertion into live and on-demand streams, which opened a new advertising revenue stream for the business.

Where the training started

I trained more than 50 engineers across the organisation in AWS. Thirteen of them became AWS certified through the programme.
