Case studies
Systems where the technical problem was tangled up with a regulatory one.
Each one follows the same shape: the constraint, the options considered, what was chosen and why, and what happened. Written for the people who have to decide whether to trust me with a system.
Link TV, Public Media Group of Southern California (PBS SoCal / KCET)
08/2022 to 09/2022
Geofencing a live video player to enforce content licensing
Regional licensing terms for NHK programming on Link TV were not being enforced by the player. I designed and built the geofence that closed that exposure.
PBS SoCal, Public Media Group of Southern California
02/2023 to 03/2023
A bilingual educational content library shared across PBS stations
Editors publish learning resources in English and Spanish; families and other PBS stations search, filter, and download them. Built inside the station’s CMS rather than beside it, on purpose.
Mad Engine (Marvel licensee), built at Sunrise Integration
02/2022 to 05/2022
A Shopify app that put a licensed Marvel catalog into any merchant’s store
Merchants install the app, import Marvel products, and receive new ones automatically from the licensee’s platform. Three companies, one integration, a fixed launch date.
Language Systems International (LSI), a multi-campus English-language school in Southern California
09/2016 to 03/2018
A student information system for a multi-campus school under three regulators
Grades, attendance, and finances for four campuses, feeding reports to three regulators. I designed the data model and led the team that built and ran it.
