I worked with a worldwide team to develop and prototype a unique social application with an advanced 3D interface. I worked with my co-founder to achieve over $800,000 in funding over the course of development.This project involved an array of different skillsets, including:● UI/UX Design in Photoshop and Figma + coordination, collaboration with non-local programmers● Business management, including developer contracts, NDAs, business plans, taxes, partnership and subscription agreements● Outreach and meetings with investors for project funding - presentations, pitch decks, and mockups● Jira agile project management + biweekly springs with a team in the US, Germany, and California● QA Alpha Testing + survey development for accurate tester feedback● Early Unity Web Platform development, utilizing the Chrome Unity plugin.The project I developed with Texas Idealogics was very exciting, but suffered from an overly ambitious feature-set, a less experienced main team, and working with too-new technology. I'm still disappointed we were unable to properly release the project, but it gave me a wide variety of experience in managing startups, design, project management, testing, and working with remote developers.
