Current and Previous Work

Current Work:

Digital Ambiance:

DA creates custom lighting installations for events, venues, and artistic contexts. I'm part of building the LightPath application that acts as a client-facing control interface for their installations. The application allows clients to create and schedule presets and sequences of presets for color and pattern effects across the installations.

Previous Work:

2018 - Edge (formerly Airbitz):

Edge produces a cryptocurrency wallet as well as security products in the crypto space. As an independent contractor, I contributed to the Airbitz iOS and Android wallets written in React Native. The product eventually became Edge, and the existing wallet was adapted into their current product.

2016-2017 - Easyl and French Girls:

Out of school, I came on as the 7th employee at a startup called French Girls, where we were building a social network for digital artists: think Instagram with digital art tools inside, allowing for commissioning artists and posting work directly. While there, I was one of two iOS developers owning the product, and was part of our rebrand and rebuild to Easyl. I developed a proposal to structure the sort of digital goods market we were building: first-class experiences for all three of creators, consumers, and curators.
