I design and manage the implementation of enterprise scale web and mobile applications in the media and entertainment industry. I also founded and ultimately sold a company that provided media localization services in several languages.
I lead DMED's Asset Management Product team - we manage relationships with several business units that leverage our asset management and transport applications. I lead recurring meetings with business leadership across the enterprise to define strategy, prioritize development activities, create roadmaps, review timelines and risks, and manage expectations. I was formerly the Product Owner for Disney Studios' enterprise-wide Digital Asset Management system.
I lead our media services division. I establish standard operating procedures for our various work streams and also build products in the areas of media processing, localization, video streaming, and digital asset management. Additionally, we offer consulting services in the media and entertainment space.
Localogic uses cutting edge web based platforms to provide subtitling, translation, and dubbing services in several languages. With lean workflows incorporating both automated and manual QC, we localize content for several major streaming services at a fraction of the cost of other providers.
I managed the implementation of a solution integrating Business Process Management (Cordys) and Digital Asset Management (OpenText Media Management) capabilities. Prior to implementation, our project team conducted a thorough gap analysis, comprehensively modeled the current state, and designed the recommended future state. On a separate engagement, I performed an asset management assessment and presented findings for a major game studio.
I managed several projects around the acquisition and QC, transcoding, packaging, and delivery of content to streaming services and broadcasters worldwide. The content was processed and delivered to a wide variety of platforms - web, iOS, Android, XBOX, Roku, smart TVs, tvOS (Apple TV), set top boxes, and other TVOD and SVOD platforms. I worked with several DRM and packaging standards - PlayReady, Widevine, FairPlay, Smooth Streaming, HLS, Mpeg DASH, and others.
Product Owner for a custom application managing the end to end direct response marketing process. This including planning, configuring and executing media buys, ingesting and analyzing response data, and robust reporting. The application was integrated with several other apps via an Enterprise Service Bus.
Managed and supported the implementation of multiple DAM systems. This included a custom system used to distribute marketing assets to local and international partners and an off the shelf product (MediaBeacon) used as a repository for assets of all types across multiple company divisions.
For a major film studio, I managed the implementation and support of the Marketing Resource Management application (Aprimo MRM) that tracked marketing spend on all channels for theatrical and home video titles. On a separate project, I served as a techno-functional BA on an implementation of a theatrical distribution system. This application managed the end to end theatrical distribution process from release planning, bookings and distribution through invoicing and reconciliation and reporting against box office receipts.
I worked as a .NET developer on ESRI's flagship ArcGIS family of products. I implemented a number of features in the ArcMAP application and worked closely with the QA team to write and execute test plans.
