👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZachary Rivera is a Staff Software Engineer in Seattle with 11 years building robust video streaming systems, currently leading development of a TypeScript event-driven HTML video playback SDK that handles client/server ad insertion, DRM, captions, and live/VOD for HLS and MPEG-DASH. He brings deep JavaScript/TypeScript expertise from roles at Comcast, Disney, and Versant Media, combining frontline implementation with architecture and operational concerns. His background in Computer Science with a math minor and early hands-on roles at Apple and thePlatform inform a practical, product-focused engineering style. Colleagues rely on him for solving tricky playback and integration edge cases across client and server boundaries. He’s comfortable navigating large-company delivery processes while still shipping low-level, performance-sensitive code. Outside core responsibilities he tends to bridge teams—QA, devops, and product—to turn complex media requirements into reliable user experiences.
