About David Levinson
Experienced Director, Manager, Team Lead and Software Engineer with years of demonstrated leadership and engineering experience working in digital media, travel, entertainment, sports, and news. I’ve directed, managed, designed and engineered software solutions that have and continue to impact millions of customers each day.I’ve been fortunate to have been involved with software engineering behind brands including Vevo, CNN, NCAA (March Madness), Bleacher Report, Boomerang, DCUniverse, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, TNT, TruTV, TBS, TCM, Warner Archive, EllenTube, Estadio, DrameFever, HBO/Max, Crunchyroll and others. I\'ve directed a engineering team building mobile, web and internet connected device libraries delivering video playback, advertising, and analytics capabilities, directed engineer for a team developing event live event orchestration applications, coached managers, managed engineers that are always empowered to contribute, lead with empathy, and take on new challenges outside my comfort zone to push my leadership abilities and keep teams moving forward. I’ve worked on content management systems and workflows, processed and transcoded countless hours of media content, lead development for comic book authoring/publishing tools, managed product roadmaps and strategy, worked on e-commerce services, took a chance on a travel software startup (learned a lot), and built my own independent software business. I’m always willing to help out for the greater good of the business, empower others to do the same and embrace feedback to drive continued improvement. I’m proud to be noted as an inventor on two patents/applications related to real-time video editing and a system for integrating reservations into personal scheduling software. I’ve also been fortunate to build a small business that’s experienced over $5M in global sales. Skilled in Micro-services, AWS, APIs, Mobile Applications, C#/.NET Framework, Python, HTML, JavaScript, TypeScript, and other technologies.
