  • F
    Senior Software Engineer
    Freshcode
    Apr 2007 - Oct 2011 (4 years 7 months)
    Lead development of several Mac and iOS projects, both in-house projects as well as contract development.

    ● Managed and led the team responsible for creating Bodega, an App Store for the Mac before Apple created the Mac App Store. This project was far too ambitious for our team, but sometimes a little ignorance and hubris is what it takes. We achieved hundreds of thousands of users, but ultimately were never able to turn a profit. I'm incredibly proud of what our small team was to achieve. We all leveled-up in several ways due to this experience.
