Experience
- Popdoghttps://aaronlabrie.com/popdog
Popdog was an esports and live streaming site designed to help viewers find relevant live-streaming content. It also helps streamers manage their content and schedule.
We were able to surface content from multiple platforms (Twitch, YouTube, Mixer) and show live and notable content from the days and weeks prior.
I collaborated with a very talented team of designers and engineers on this project and focused on building out the core React UI powered by a robust GraphQL API.
