CONTEXT

Netflix’s Discovery Hub is a digital learning platform, supporting and inspiring creatives around the globe to excel in their craft.

Created in collaboration with Netflix to scale existing on-the-ground industry training. It provides access to skills-based learning content straight from Netflix experts.

OVERVIEW

I co-led the technical design and development of this product from the initial design discovery phase, through to the first release 12 months later. I worked within a small Future Friendly product team and later collaborated closely with members of Netflix's development team.

The beautiful designs and technical challenges made this project very enjoyable to work on and although there were some difficult moments, it was the most rewarding point of my career so far to see it go live.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Re-purposing Contentful CMS to work as an LMS through the use of the SCORM standard, webhooks and a custom learning progression system
  • Developing a robust content querying mechanism to enable recommendations across three levels of content (collection, course, module)
  • Awarding NFT certificates for course completion
  • Implementing beautiful designs inspired by the Netflix design system

IMPORTANT

At the time of publishing, the Discovery Hub is an internal tool for Netflix affiliates only and can't be accessed by the public through the above URL. I have a personal account which can be used to demonstrate the tool.
