Connecting people with stories they love! I am privileged to lead the team that designs, implements, and optimizes the technology behind Netflix, delivering 100M hours/day of streaming video to almost 70M members in 60 countries around the world. We are creative revolutionaries, reinventing television! We build the e-commerce and membership experience for users to subscribe and manage their membership. We have pioneered content discovery using technology to enable members to discover content they will enjoy, including recommendations technology, social suggestions, and advanced search algorithms, available on cinematic UIs on many different platforms. We have created streaming video standards, toolkits, and platforms including HTML5 streaming for web users, tablet and mobile streaming apps, game console streaming apps, smart TV apps, and set-top box apps. Most of our technology runs on Amazon's cloud, and we have open-sourced more than 50 cloud-related projects of general utility. We have also built a content distribution network that delivers 1/3 of peak Internet traffic in the US directly to the last-mile ISPs, and we are evangelizing strong network neutrality to ensure the long-term viability of the Internet. Our technology supports creation of Netflix Originals such as House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Daredevil, Marco Polo, Bloodline, Sense8, Narcos, Jessica Jones, and many others. Our original content is fueling the UHD transition, and can be delivered to suitable TVs in 4k, high dynamic range, and wide color gamut. We are also pioneering on adaptive streaming and high efficiency encoding to drive high quality video to smart phones and tablets. We are very proud of the TV platform we have created, the cloud architecture we have developed and open sourced, the original content we have enabled, and the culture ("Freedom and Responsibility") within which we work.
