Founder
2012 - PRESENTPalm Mar Studios- Started developing my own apps out of necessity; initially, I needed an application for my exercises in the park.
- Aimed to build apps that make money using the guiding principle "the best app is a live app."
- Implemented my own version of ASO (app store optimizations) on a number of apps due to a lack of resources for marketing. To offset this, I used as much as possible free stuff and what I could do myself which included promoting my apps on my own Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and Tumblr accounts.
- Worked the system at Apple (which included customer support, testers, and App Store reviewers) in order to get my apps in the store as fast as possible.
- Acted as the end-to-end creator of my apps which includes development, marketing, design, testing, delivery, and more.
