Leading Media Processing Infrastructure development of real-time video streaming platforms that power some of Apple’s most cutting-edge products. I’m currently driving innovations at the intersection of immersive media and large-scale infrastructure—transforming how millions experience video content. At Apple, I’ve been a core contributor to the Vision Pro video pipeline, helping to bring next-gen immersive storytelling to life. I worked on deploying a GPU-powered encoding infrastructure capable of handling multi-terabyte assets to support premium video experiences like those showcased in Apple’s groundbreaking Vision Pro launch: https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2024/01/apple-tv-unveils-groundbreaking-immersive-originals-from-todays-biggest-storytellers-set-to-debut-on-apple-vision-pro/ I'm also leading the real-time media ingestion and streaming pipeline for Major League Soccer (MLS) games on Apple TV, enabling rapid processing of game highlights, short clips, and video-on-demand content: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/01/major-league-soccer-returns-to-mls-season-pass-on-the-apple-tv-app/ These initiatives involve end-to-end system design, deep collaboration with cross-functional teams, and operating at the scale and performance demanded by global platforms.
