PledgeMusic was founded to help independent musicians take control of their funding and release cycle while helping charities they love. I joined as the first employee, and quickly built out the platform towards a six month launch date. Launched as one of the first successful crowdfunding companies, the platform evolved over the next decade to include additional D2C verticals such as pre-orders, retail sales, and ticketing.

As lead developer I built Arena's eCommerce platform, taking the project from back-­of-­a-napkin­-status through profitability. The flower industry has its own unique challenges (timed delivery, tracking perishable stock, scaling logistics around Valentine's Day, etc) but in the first few years we developed a platform capable of managing ten white label sites with shared stock that shipped from both our London and Amsterdam depots.The project covered multi­currency accounting, internationalization/localization, major courier integrations, custom PDAs for our own couriers, extensive fraud detection modeling, flower auction buying/forecasting, and bidirectional order integration with three partner florists.Major partners and resellers at the time included: Preset Chocolates, Boots UK, MoonPig, ProFlowers.

Conducted research/scalability testing for a social networking project.

Developed promotional sites for eBay, L'Oreal, and an eCommerce site for Toshiba Home Entertainment.
