Filipe Brito Ferreira
I’m a Senior Software Engineer who loves tackling tough tech problems and making things work better. Right now, I’m with Roku on the Web Core team, where I’m focused on building tools and frameworks that help our engineers work more efficiently and effectively. It’s all about creating systems that can scale and keep everything running smoothly. Before Roku, I was at Sky UK, working on the Peacock TV applications and adding features to NOWTV for Apple TV and Roku devices. I also dabbled in DevOps, optimizing CI/CD pipelines with AWS and setting up a GraphQL layer to make data handling easier. I’m always excited about learning new tech and finding the next interesting challenge.

NOWTV Core Team
Worked on adding analytics to our CI/CD system, we created a system using AWS technologies such as AWS SQS to create a pub/sub system that keeps track of our ci/cd build times and alerts us when something fails. We had all our code running in AWS lambda for our backend/API tasks and used AWS EKS for the front-end and other services that couldn’t be serverless. For long term storage we S3 Glacier and normal S3 for assets and short team storage, we also used S3 to hold our Lambda functions configuration, this was all built using AWS SDK (typescript).
NOWTV Sales & Service
Worked on the My Account team of NOWTV, the main job was to maintain and develop new features of my account dashboard. Also worked as part of the europe rebuild team as we started from scratch on creating the new multi-territory and multi proposition apps for my account team. Before the rebuild we had 12 separate apps per territory, after the rebuild, we end up with two main apps and some smaller ones, this allowed us to simplify and code an make sure all our features could be turned on/off in any territory or proposition. The technology stack on here was typescript with react/redux and concourse as our ci
NOWTV Web Backend for Front Ends
Built out a GraphQL layer to act as as middleware between the frontend website and the many rest api’s. Use GraphQL to aggregate and filter responses from multiple data providers, giving frontend teams an abstraction layer. The main graphql server is builded on top of Apollo server and AWS lambda (serverless) with redis as a caching layer. We managed to get three nines availablity and ofuscate downstream downtime.
