Summary
Flavio Ribeiro is a seasoned engineering leader with nine years of experience building and scaling live video and media systems, currently leading Live Streaming Technologies at Netflix. He has repeatedly taken 0-to-1 ideas to production—co-creating the widely used open-source player Clappr, founding the peer-to-peer BemTV (acquired by Streamroot), and architecting live event pipelines for major broadcasts from the FIFA World Cup to U.S. Presidential Election coverage. Comfortable across embedded Linux, WebRTC, cloud encoding and broadcast signal acquisition, he blends deep hands-on systems knowledge with proven team-building and cross-functional delivery at The New York Times, Paramount, and Netflix. Flavio pairs an Electrical Engineering background and executive education from Columbia Business School with a developer’s curiosity, often favoring pragmatic, distributed solutions that reduce origin load and improve QoE. Notably, he has driven integrations like cloud-agnostic encoding workflows and closed-caption pipelines that turned experimental features into core platform capabilities.
