Digital video product manager

Hi, I'm Noah.

I'm a product manager focused on digital video, OTT and CTV apps, and the operational workflows behind them. I've been working on the user-facing side of video and the machinery underneath it since 2007. Creative, operations, product, in roughly that order, and never fully out of any of them.

Everything else here is the more personal side of the site. Part portfolio, part creative sandbox, part digital junk drawer. Some of it is polished, some is messy, and all of it is real.

Featured work

Streaming product, from the CMS to the couch

A few projects across the last few years. Details are generalized where they need to be.

Nexstar

Nexstar · 2023 to present

108 local CTV apps launched in 2025

Front-end product on station apps across Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, and Samsung TV. Requirements, station onboarding, post-launch support workflows, and the CMS work that holds it all together.

Nexstar · 2025

Multi-livestream experiences on connected TV

Defined how multiple live channels surface in the app, how the experience handles availability and fallback, and what support teams need to troubleshoot it across the entire local CTV portfolio. Live video is never really just "play the stream."

How I think about product

A digital video product looks simple when it works.

Behind that simplicity is a CMS, a feed, metadata, an auth layer, analytics, support documentation, and a content team trying to publish on a deadline. My job is usually to bring clarity across all of that. Turn complicated workflows into something teams can actually use. Make sure the viewer never has to think about any of it.

I came up through motion graphics, post-production, and digital operations before moving into streaming product management. That background helps me see both the thing the viewer sees and the behind-the-scenes work it takes to make it happen. It's also why I tend to write a lot of documentation: the diagram or the SOP is often the actual deliverable.

Recommendations

A few of the people I've worked with across roles. The earliest one goes back to my first year out of college.

Noah was a great addition to the Product group, slotting right in and hitting his stride quickly. He brought a lot of industry knowledge and was eager to learn about our own unique systems and processes. His professionalism ensured he delivered on some massive projects like the launch of CTV apps while his personality endeared him to his teammates across multiple groups. Noah also has a mean golf swing.

Drew Clayton

Product Management Leader, Nexstar · Dec 2024

Noah is a fast learner, an excellent communicator, and has a knack for explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. He revamped and optimized the workflow, drove global teams to follow guidelines and standards, and delivered accurate review results.

Yifan Wang

Global Head of Operations, Firework · May 2023

Noah quickly became an expert on our media platform and was brought in as the Lead Trainer to increase usage among our most strategic customers. He was thoughtful in his planning and demonstration of the product and patient with the many customer questions that always arose. He balances a strong work ethic with the moments when we need to be lighthearted among a high-pressure environment.

Rachel Schreiber

Digital Platform & Product Strategy, Firework · May 2023

I worked closely with Noah, with daily collaboration. His warm spirit and a touch of dry humour mixed well with his laser focus. He led an entire content operations team. Even though I didn't have close contact with that other team, I knew that Noah was an effective voice to represent their concerns and interests. I would trust Noah in any media or content operations roles.

Andy Tran

Software Engineer, Firework · May 2023

Noah is integral part of the creation commerce products team. He was always eager to lend a hand on projects beyond his scope. He was amazing at representing the voice of the consumer, lead user research and provided me with a very deep customer/user focused onboarding when I joined the team.

Jinny Shi-Labelle

Product Marketing, Amazon FireTV (formerly Firework) · May 2023

Noah is a powerhouse. He has left and right brain perception and skill. He manages his team, the facility and the creatives who come in and out of the workflow with diplomacy and humor.

Stories cut for the phone

Built with Firework, the short-form video platform I helped shape, including the product itself and the CMS that powers it.

The rest of the site

Creative sandbox and digital junk drawer

Less polished, more personal. Videos, graphics, photography, family projects, and a few things that don't have a home anywhere else.
