Top SchoolJonathan Mathiesen is a principal solutions architect with 13 years of experience designing and delivering large-scale media and streaming systems for companies like NBCUniversal, Disney+, Peloton and Viacom. He blends hands-on engineering (FFmpeg, HLS, FastAPI, serverless, CDN tuning) with people leadership, having led multiple cross-functional teams to build observability, encoding and delivery platforms that serve live and VOD at scale. His career spans product, operations and architecture—translating business needs into cost-aware cloud and on-prem media workflows, mid-tier integrations and content origin strategies. At Peloton he was the subject matter expert on end-to-end live streaming observability and KPI-driven tooling; at Disney he drove portfolio-level resource and cost guidance for platform features. Known for grounding strategic roadmaps in practical prototypes and POCs, he frequently bridges R&D and production to accelerate delivery. Based in New York, he combines media-technology depth with a background in multimedia theory, giving him a rare mix of technical rigor and content-focused product sensibility.
