Xfinity Flex/XUMO Stream Box
While at Comcast, I was chosen to be part of the launch team for Xfinity Flex, the company’s first foray into streaming. With a small tiger team of talented people, we launched this streaming box to millions of customers within a year. Before launch, I designed and built the menu and navigation layouts, onboarded OTT, VOD, and PVOD Apps to the platform. Working with the engineering team, I enhanced our CMS system to integrate apps into our menu system directly. After launch, I was in charge of editorial changes, enhancements, YouTube editorial integration, QA, and A/B testing features throughout the product. Since its launch, this little streaming box made it into over 5 million households and a joint venture with Charter Cable for $900 million.
XClass TV
After the successful launch of Flex, Comcast entered into a partnership with Walmart and Hisense to bring customers the Flex streaming experience integrated into a smart TV. In partnership with the larger XClass team, I rebuilt the Flex menu system from the ground up with enhancements unique to the new smart TV experience.
