Joined Kimono Labs, a YCombinator-backed startup, as the second engineering hire and focused on helping grow the company, both in terms of users and employees. - Helped established and improve the engineering culture at Kimono, following common best practices and putting an emphasis on effective sprint planning, collaboration, and code review.- Worked to move the product from a single monolithic codebase to a micro-services architecture with a clear separation of concerns and more effective performance.- Built an official Kimono World Cup API for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, using an open source MVC node.js framework (comparable to express) and powered by Kimono APIs. This was used as a model for all future official Kimono APIs.- Acquired by Palantir in February 2016.
