Meet ATHUL B from intern to full-time software developer at Disney+ Hotstar, his story is one you won’t want to miss! Check it out! “Joining Disney+ Hotstar as an intern in June 2022 was one of the best decisions I’ve made. What initially felt like deciphering an intricate code soon became an extraordinary journey of learning and discovery. College gave me a solid academic foundation, but real-world scenarios demanded practical skills that I developed on the job. The team leads and mentors I worked with, guided me through complex problem statements. With each assignment, my problem-solving approach improved, and I gained the confidence to deliver results. By July 2023, I was thrilled to step into my role as a full-time software development engineer in Cloud Engineering bagging a PPO. At Disney+ Hotstar, we believe that a positive Developer Experience can significantly boost productivity and foster innovation. One impactful project I worked on was the CDN automation project. This initiative introduced structured reviews, version control for CDN configurations, automated deployments, and staged rollouts, streamlining the CDN configuration process. As a result, we achieved faster time to market, improved traceability, optimized efficiency, and consistency—crucial during major events like World Cup tournaments. By simplifying the process, we reduced the workload for developers and external teams, who provided overwhelmingly positive feedback. Disney+ Hotstar has been an incredible place to kickstart and shape my career. Two key lessons I've learned here that have helped me tremendously, and that I encourage my peers and all early-career professionals to take note of, are: 👉 See the Bigger Picture: It’s not just about finishing tasks; it’s about understanding your customers' needs—in my case, developers—and finding ways to simplify their work. 👉 Seek Support and Mentorship When Needed: Collaborating with peers and seeking guidance from experienced colleagues can spark transformative ideas and accelerate your growth.” Stay Tuned for more #LifeatHotstar Stories. #DisneyPlusHotstar #careergrowth #OTT #Hotstar #employeeExperience #CloudEngineering
