Experience

Ethereum Developer Course

This is the Ethereum course I created to introduce blockchain application development to existing developers. I researched, wrote, and produced the course. It is commonly distributed to participants at various blockchain hackathons.

Kindle Fire

The Amazon Video app has been included with every Kindle Fire since launch. I developed several key features of this app, and the coolest feature I implemented was an industry-first where a subscription video service enabled users to download content. This feature is commonly known as Prime Video downloads.

NOGGIN

NOGGIN is an app I started from scratch as the first engineering hire for the project. I remotely led its development to launch six months later with a small team of engineers that I helped recruit and onboard.
