Led the mobile team at NBCUniversal’s TV everywhere group in delivering the architectural plan for aggregating all of their mobile apps into one experience. The chosen strategy considered the state of the current apps, existing team members, third party dependencies and leadership’s vision. Several POCs were built using varied technologies to demonstrate design patterns and technology choices. The discoveries that aligned with stakeholder goals were then integrated into the foundational mobile architecture.
