Summary
Mike Reedell is a seasoned Software Engineer/Architect with nearly two decades of hands-on experience spanning UNIX administration, performance tuning, backend services, and large-scale streaming systems. Currently at Apple and formerly a Principal Engineer at Comcast VIPER, he has driven production-grade features for IP linear video, including MPEG-DASH packaging, SCTE-35 ad handling, and resilience improvements while maintaining strict standards compliance. Comfortable as both a leader and individual contributor, he repeatedly bridges ops and engineering—building debugging tools, Splunk dashboards, and performance harnesses to keep high-throughput systems reliable. Mike’s background in low-level systems and protocol work gives him a holistic view from hardware through runtime, which he applies to optimize density and latency in critical services. He’s habitually curious—pursuing side projects, learning new languages, and attending user groups—to bring fresh approaches to entrenched problems.
