After my experience at Tumblr, I wanted to try something smaller, with the goal of learning valuable skills for starting my own company someday. Prefer was a startup to power the future of work for independent professionals. I worked across the entire tech stack as needed for various stages of the companies product lifespan. Occasionally would also lend a hand in design when resources were strapped. As the company grew in size, I took on extra responsibilities of managing sprints, and providing mentorship for other developers.

After advising a few product teams at Tumblr, I was given the opportunity to manage the multi-disciplinary "Posts" team. In this role, I was responsible for some of Tumblr's largest post-Yahoo-acquisition projects, including playing a live NFL stream in all of Tumblr's properties, and creating an initiative that would lead to an all new mobile-first posting experience. Shortly after the NFL game, an Engineering Manager left the company, and I was given the opportunity to lead their remote GifMaker team, and in doing so stewarded the launch of GifMaker on Android.
