James is an experienced full-stack engineer with a robust history of diverse work. He's passionate about working on things that matter -- be it a mobile application to make music in interesting ways; a web application to help students buy textbooks; or a data pipeline of video advertisement analytics. He's spent the better part of the past two years working as a full-stack engineer at Twitter on the video monetization team.

    • Built a Windows mobile app, Sound Stack, that allowed users to play instruments and record songs using loops. Instruments used mobile sensors like the camera, gyroscope, compass, and of course touchscreen.
