Joe Wearing
Worked on the bbc/bigscreen-player repository over a three-month period, focusing on enhancing subtitle user experience and playback reliability. Delivered a feature that dynamically controls subtitle visibility during seeking, reducing visual noise and maintaining context for long-form video navigation. Implemented resilient subtitle playback through CDN failover with dynamic context updates, improving error handling and plugin extensibility. Addressed debugging needs by fixing a missing import and correcting dropped frames percentage calculations in the debug view, ensuring accurate performance metrics. Utilized JavaScript and TypeScript for front end development, plugin architecture, and testing, emphasizing reliability, maintainability, and improved developer observability throughout the project.
