Built the GoNoodle Kids iOS and tvOS apps from scratch as the first iOS/tvOS developer at GoNoodle, a popular kids brand featuring video content to get kids moving and active used at the time by more than 10 million kids monthly in over 75% of U.S. elementary schools.In its first week, the iOS app was featured on the front page of the App Store under "New Apps We Love" and became the #1 free app for iPad. On December 11, 2017 it was the App Store's "App of the Day". The tvOS app has also been regularly featured on the front page of the Apple TV App Store.Built the tvOS app just weeks after the announcement of tvOS and the 4th-generation Apple TV. Learned the brand-new, sparsely-documented tvOS frameworks and platform, and released the app in just six weeks, in time to be in the Apple TV App Store on day one of the launch of the new Apple TV.

Side project. Created an iOS app as well as a responsive web app for people to keep track of funny things their friends say. Built with Python, Django, Celery, Objective-C, JavaScript, Facebook APIs, Django REST Framework, Segment/Mixpanel, Twilio, and Heroku among many technologies.Unfortunately, in April 2015 Facebook placed major restrictions on their API for retrieving the list of a user's friends which broke the app’s original intended functionality. As such, it is not currently live.
