Software Engineer
About Jorge Hernandez
My professional career as a Software Engineer started over 20 years ago. I've created state-of-the-art applications with many different technologies ever since. From desktop applications using Visual Basic and C#, to back-end solutions using PHP, MySQL, Python, to front-end applications using Flash, Flash Media Server, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, XML, etc., to native applications for Apple and Android platforms.
My applications have been used and enjoyed by millions of users world-wide and generated millions upon millions of dollars in the process, they have also been critically acclaimed by many in the industry. Some of my most successful applications include:
- A web-based Video Player (Discovery GO) built for Discovery Communications, Inc.
- A Roku video streaming platform (Discovery GO) created for Discovery Communications, Inc.
- A tvOS video streaming platform (Discovery GO) built for Discovery Communications, Inc.
- A React Native platform (iOS and Android) created for Discovery Communications, Inc.
- An Ad Plugin Manager used by Discovery Plus and TVE apps that controls the displaying of ads and provides analytics functionality

- Flash-based training modules to teach Honda and Acura technicians how to troubleshoot and fix issues with Honda and Acura automobiles
- ... And many more
I'm a strong believer in creating robust and scalable solutions using object-oriented designs and following industry best practices. I'm looking for a company that's not afraid to try new ideas and that empowers its employees to be creative and take risks.
