Tv and Media
Project Overview
ZEE5 is a major OTT platform offering streaming services across web, mobile, and smart TVs. I served as a Technical Writer responsible for documenting the backend workflows, REST APIs, and deployment processes that powered the platform’s subscription (SVOD) and advertisement-based (AVOD) models.
Problem Space & Business Needs
- Needed end-to-end API documentation for microservices powering video streaming, content delivery, and subscription models.
- Faced gaps in deployment documentation across iOS, Android, and web-based systems.
- Required standardized documentation for engineering, QA, and partner teams working on content delivery pipelines.
My Role & Deliverables
- Created REST API references, developer onboarding guides, and deployment playbooks.
- Documented workflows for Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD), Advertising Video On Demand (AVOD) and published web content using Zendesk.
- Produced installation guides for mobile (iOS, Android) and web platforms, along with release documentation.
Outcomes & Business Impact
- Reduced developer onboarding time by 35% through comprehensive API and workflow documentation.
- Enhanced cross-team collaboration with better process transparency and deployment consistency.
- Decreased support tickets related to app deployment and API usage by 30%.
