Architecture and streaming
Notes and pointers on streaming systems, cloud services and the decisions behind them.
Solutions Architect
Designing large‑scale streaming platforms.
I’m a Solutions Architect working on large-scale streaming platforms, across cloud and systems integration. Between 2010 and 2012 I designed a dedicated video network (the DVN), the in-house delivery platform behind Sky Go and NOW TV. I then led the solution architecture for its portable, software-defined successor, which I co-presented running in Google Cloud in 2019. I designed it so a later cloud decision would not mean starting again.
I design how live TV reaches people’s screens, then explain it in plain English so everyone around the table can follow the decisions.
