Architecture & Approach
The Peacock platform is a multi-tenant codebase spanning iPhone, iPad, and tvOS. Project whitelisting is the mechanism that lets each brand (Peacock, NOW, SkyShowtime, Showmax) ship on its own cadence while sharing the underlying architecture. Treated the Peacock and NOW consolidation as a build-system problem first, product problem second. CI was overhauled in parallel so the merge didn't slow either team down.
