Joshua Rountree is a Senior Engineer specializing in OTT and Connected TV who brings 14 years of experience building direct-to-consumer video apps and tooling for broadcast and digital media brands. Based in Cincinnati, he leads engineering at The E.W. Scripps Company, delivering maintainable, testable apps for networks like ION, Newsy and Court TV while shaping safe deployment strategies and cross-disciplinary collaboration. He has deep platform-level knowledge of diverse Smart TV and streaming device ecosystems and focuses on abstracting those differences into SDKs and tooling so designers and developers can concentrate on product. His background spans full-stack web and mobile systems—from Ruby on Rails single sign-on and mobile apps at the University of Cincinnati to WebRTC-based video chat and scalable server orchestration at startups. Joshua pairs practical engineering discipline with a product-minded approach, regularly prioritizing testability and maintainability in high-velocity release environments. He’s quietly built cross-platform developer tools that reduce platform-specific friction, enabling faster, more consistent viewer experiences.
