During the first year of my work at NBC News I was tasked with implementing interactive user experience for the three major NBC News shows: Nightly News, Meet the Press and Dateline. In the first two months of working on the project I developed and delivered the first iteration of a framework that powered video watching experience on some parts of the NBCNews.com. I then continued developing this framework and made it easily adaptable for any playlist-based experiences throughout the site. Eventually over 40% of all video streams on the site were powered by my framework. The work that I performed on this project was:

• Use HTML/JS/SASS to implement design requirements
• Integrate analytics and advertisement platforms into the product
• Take user research results and modify the product based on the results
• Provide suggestions to creative director to improve the product
• Extensive Browser testing and performance testing

Technologies used:

• Backbone.js
• Handlebars Templates
• Node.js
• CSS / SASS
• Google Analytics
