The challenge
Build a recognizable streaming experience around live data while handling several content types, routes, detail states, and responsive layouts.

A responsive streaming interface with live TMDB data, trailers, title details, episode views, and a saved list flow.My role
I built the React frontend and connected it to TMDB data for browsing, trailers, title pages, episode views, and saved titles.
Technical approach
Reusable content components handle changing API data across rows and detail views. Routed pages give titles their own destination, while loading and empty states keep the interface understandable as data changes.
Hardest problem
The key challenge was making inconsistent external data feel consistent inside one interface. I added defensive rendering and reusable presentation rules for missing artwork, metadata, and media.
Result
The project works as a complete streaming product study rather than a single static screen, with browsing, discovery, detail, and saved list interactions.
What I learned
I gained practical experience shaping API responses into resilient UI and managing the relationship between routes, asynchronous data, and reusable components.
