My name is Michael Arguin and I am approaching my 10 year anniversary as a Brightcove Employee (March 31, 2024). I have worked in Developer Support, the Web Players Development Team and most recently as Senior Manager, Marketplace and Developer Support, responsible for helping onboard third party developers using our APIs and SDKS to build integrations into the Brightcove Platform to extend customer value and use cases in their digital video investments.  Happy to have this forum to connect to customers and partner to assist with technical questions around building integrations and connections to couple Brightcove to your workflow and processes!

Cheers!
