Software Engineer
About Jorge Hernandez
With over 20 years of professional experience as a Software Engineer, I have built high-performance applications across a broad spectrum of technologies — from desktop software in Visual Basic and C#, to server-side systems in PHP, MySQL, and Python, to rich front-end experiences in HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and Flash, to native applications for iOS, Android, Roku, and Apple TV.
My work has reached millions of users worldwide and delivered significant value for every organization I have been a part of. A selection of notable projects includes:
- Discovery GO — web-based video player for Discovery Communications
- Discovery GO — Roku streaming platform supporting 16 Discovery network brands
