I was hired by DEPT® to assist Gusto with their brand refresh. Gusto is a large SaaS startup whose focus is in providing HR & accounting services to small business owners. As lead front end engineer, I managed a team of 6 software & QA engineers. While working out of the Gusto offices, I collaborated with Brand Studio, Marketing, Product & Growth teams. Together we were able to deliver over +100 pages on time with what was noted to be the "smoothest brand launch" anyone had seen 🎉.
Odopod was a mid-sized digital design agency that specialized in Human Centric Design. HCD is a problem-solving technique that puts people at the center. The goal is to keep users' front of mind & seek solutions that create intuitive & accessible products. As the Technical Director on this project, I worked with Google's engineers to meet their technical & testing requirements. The engineers & I created various proof of concepts along with prototypes that were tied to a suite of unit tests. This allowed us to test our architecture prior to kickoff and assisted in creating a seamless delivery process & streamlined the development process.
The Odopod team & I built the iOS application for Sony's streaming service Vue. The application included live TV, DVR, and VOD features via a 3rd party content delivery service. As the Technical Director, I worked with Sony on the iOS & Chromecast builds while also managing both the internal & external engineering teams. I also assisted various design & engineering vendors by on-boarding them into Vue's vast ecosystem.
In 1979 Factory Records released their 10th album Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division. The artwork is credited to both the band & Peter Saville. The album cover uses an image of radio waves from pulsar CP 1919. The background is black (instead of white) because Peter Saville said "I was convinced that it was just sexier in black". It is considered one of "the best albums of all time".
I'm obsessed with this album. So much so that for some time I've been trying to make an application that would use the album song's as data for the waveform. I've tried before and hit walls. Recently I've started working on it again & with some help from Claude, a path was made. Read my post describing the process.
