Rebranded a stagnant alternative medicine products company with zero inventory turn into a premium health & wellness e-commerce company.

Hired by Futurism’s CTO to lead engineering, a team of 3 owning its growing website, mobile apps, and tooling. At 20MM monthly pageviews from ~10MM users, the Rackspace-hosted WordPress site would go down requiring sysadmin intervention, and the white-labeled mobile apps were under-serving the audience and brand. I learned Next.js in early 2018 and, in September 2018, launched the modern and highly-available Futurism.com website on Vercel, splitting full-stack development with the lead engineer I managed. In early 2020, I rebuilt and launched the Futurism apps with React Native in under 6 weeks. Conducted weekly 1-on-1s, performance reviews, and hiring interviews.

Pitched and raised $150k from angels and VCs in Princeton, NJ, and SF to build an early social live-streaming app. Hired and managed a team of 9. Built custom live video streaming cloud services with Node.js, FFMPEG, and Docker (the year it came out). Oversaw iOS development.
