For Plays.tv, I led a major upgrade of the existing video player by developing and integrating an adaptive streaming system using MPEG-DASH. The goal was to improve the platform's playback experience for users streaming clips from the site. I implemented an adaptive bitrate solution on the front-end that adjusted video quality based on users' internet speeds, ensuring minimal buffering and faster load times. This upgrade optimized video delivery across various devices and networks improving performance and user retention.

I took a hands-on role in implementing the player while facilitating collaboration across frontend, backend, and QA teams to ensure the adaptive streaming upgrade was delivered successfully. I worked with the backend engineers to clarify and define the API requirements, ensuring seamless communication between frontend and backend systems. At the same time, I provided the QA team with a clear understanding of the frontend's functionality, enabling them to create effective tests for the new system. This cross-team coordination helped simplify a complex project and ensured a smooth, reliable deployment.
