About me

Hi there 👋, my name is David Cordero.

I am Engineering Manager at Zattoo and I feel very passionate about technology, digital privacy, trains, and Fridays.

Work experience

Zattoo

I joined Zattoo in 2016 as a tvOS and iOS engineer. Since then I have been working in the development of our Apps for tvOS and iOS. A development based on shared frameworks that allow us to share code between iOS and tvOS with a high level of testability and scalability.

Since January 2022 I am working as Engineering Manager in the team, a position that allows me to ease the development of the team and to represent our decisions to our stakeholders.

Schibsted

Since 2012 I worked in Schibsted as a mobile developer, for both iOS and Android platforms. I worked in a very agile team with development based on pair programming and using SCRUM or Kanban methodologies. I also had the chance to learn a lot about software architecture, clean code, and testability.

In Schibsted I had the chance to work with people from all over the world, which allowed me to discover different ways of working and thinking.

Mirada PLC

In June 2010 I joined Mirada PLC, as a C++ developer for Linux Embedded systems.

In this position, I had the opportunity to work in the development of a brand new IPTV platform for Euskaltel TV. A platform built from the scratch and based on Qt library.

Alcatel-Lucent

I joined Alcatel-Lucent (currently part of Nokia) in 2008, as C and C++ developer for Linux Embedded systems.

In Alcatel, I worked in the development of an IPTV platform. I was part of the team implementing the software of the set top boxes for Imagenio (currently rebranded to Movistar TV).

In this position, I acquired experience in Linux development and also knowledge about the different network and video protocols. I used cross compilers, in addition to Linux sockets, threads, DLNA, UPNP, and concurrency management.
