At Disney+ Hotstar I led a team of 5 engineers on the Player & Consumption squad, which was responsible for streaming quality for 28M+ concurrent users during peak live events. I owned automation for VOD, LIVE, SSAI/SGAI and the multi-platform player stacks.

What I did

  • UI automation: Playwright (Web + WebLR) and Espresso (Android + AndroidLR).
  • Playportal automation: real-time LIVE and VOD content health monitoring.
  • Cross-platform player automation: Shaka (Web), Exo Player (Android) and AV Player (iOS).
  • Ad insertion: Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) and Server-Guided Ad Insertion (SGAI) integration testing.
  • Load testing: CDN and server-side health validation at scale.
  • Team lead: managed 5 manual testers across feature, sanity and performance testing.
