MTV Networks used the MediaPlayer to deliver their video content, and was second only to YouTube in the number of video streams delivered. With over 400 million streams per month, and advertising money on the line, the product needed to be extremely reliable, efficient, and highly customize-able. As of 2021, the player is still deployed on brand sites such as: MTV.com,, CC.com, Nick.com

The role involved creating the internal architecture of the video player platform (client and server), defining its APIs, how it can be configured, and how third-parties can interact with it. Also how developers could contribute (best practices and coding style), and dev-ops such as how to build the codebase, deploy it, and test it. This was iterated for each video player.

• Create player javascript (p-js) components http://github.com/p-js/, which are assembled into a video player. Some are isomorphic and also run in node.js.
• Designed both Flash and mobile version (iOS/Android) using HTML5 and Javascript
