Building the future of signing in Europe for this Swiss-based, seed-level, digital signature start up. My focus is on bringing new features to the primary signing application to server a rapidly growing customer base. Additionally, I utilise my experience to improve the developer experience for the team, and build microservices to support scalability of the platform.
First Berlin employee for this seed-level, AI enablement start up. Created the customer facing web-based data labeling and management dashboard. Worked with data scientists to build labeling and deployment tools using state-of-the-art methods to increase accuracy and reduce time for labels and securely manage user data. I was involved in hiring and onboarding new employees, making critical architecture decisions and worked directly with contractors and customers. My role extended to developing parts of the back-end infrastructure and setting up various cloud services to support the needs of the front-end.
With Airteam, I had the opportunity to apply my training in both product design and computer science to develop engaging products for start ups and large enterprise clients. My skills were used to build Angular and React web applications, as well as hybrid mobile applications, using JavaScript with the Ionic framework. I also had the opportunity to work with Java (Android), Swift (iOS), NodeJS, and Python.
Through family, friends, business contacts and word-of-mouth I supported myself by contracting my web development & design services. It was during this time I learned PHP, Wordpress, JavaScript, and JQuery.
Focus on 3D graphics and AI. Furthering my existing knowledge in programming to challenge myself and learn more about the limits of a computer's potential.
Focus on web development.
Focus on design management. Major project involved smart phone AR, for which I received an honourable mention by Layar, the AR platform provider, in their launch competition.
The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) is an intergovernmental not-for-profit organisation located in Singapore. With members of Vasulka Kitchen (Brno) and artists from Europe and South Korea, we developed the project: Taming of the Stream: Performance with(in) protocol. I provided one of two streaming platforms that was used in a series of collective performances. These performances were intended to facilitate the exploration of possibilities for audio and collaboration. I found this experience to be useful for helping demonstrate the audio capacity and technical limitations of these tools.

Although it's currently my professional field, I also enjoy spending my free time writing about, designing, prototyping, and developing new interfaces. I do this as part of inquiry-based learning. As such, I use my interest in experimental music to make the process more enjoyable. I started playing guitar in 2000, the same year we got access to the Internet at home. I have been exploring and learning about music and the world of computers and the web ever since.
