# Elliott Kember > Staff Software Engineer at OpenSpace Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/elliottkember I'm a multi-disciplinary Staff Software engineer from New Zealand. I have a wide range of experience building software and leading development teams around the world. I run the mobile team at OpenSpace, working to revolutionize the construction industry. ## Work Experience ### Staff Software Engineer @ OpenSpace Jan 2022 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer @ OpenSpace Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 OpenSpace is a revolutionary new 360º photo capture system for the construction industry. By using 360º cameras, we capture walkthroughs of your construction site and process them into 3D imagery. Then, we use sophisticated image recognition algorithms to determine the state of your project - including progress tracking on drywall, electrical and ducts. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Clearbit Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | San Francisco At Clearbit, I led front-end development on the new X experience - an all-in-one application designed to help companies make the most of their advertising spend. I helped the team build out the experience, and shaped the structure of the product through numerous product transitions and new features. ### Technical Director @ ueno. Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Senior Developer @ ueno. Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco ### Product Designer @ Elastic Projects / Abstract Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | San Francisco At Elastic Projects, I helped the small team build their new desktop application, a workflow tool aimed at designers. I made product decisions, led front-end development cycles, made hiring recommendations and helped shape the product direction and market fit. ### Prototyper @ Dropbox Jan 2014 – Jan 2016 | San Francisco, California Mac, iOS, Web development. Rapid iteration, interface prototyping and experimentation. I was hired as Dropbox's first "Prototyper" - in other words, a developer in the Design organization. I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to work with some of the most talented designers in the industry, and made a lot of great friends in the process. Some projects of note include: • Dropbox Desktop I scoped out and prototyped this project from my own thoughts and ideas. Drawing on hundreds of hours spent with Dropbox’s fantastic User Research team, I put together a prototype of a new Desktop experience for Dropbox. • Mailbox for Mac I was involved in the Mailbox for Mac "Betacoin" rollout process. I helped come up with a compelling interaction for allowing access to a brand-new product while controlling roll-out to avoid overloading the servers. Using steganography to encode data into images, we produced small coin images and distributed them to users. The user then drops the coin directly onto the app to unlock access. A fun, goofy little trick that worked wonders in spreading the app. • Dropbox Prototyping An internal Skunk-works team, Dropbox Prototyping built several native prototype applications for Dropbox users. I worked with renowned designer Tim Van Damme on this project for several months. As a tiny renegade team with no resources, we innovated and moved rapidly within the large organization to bring the vision to life. As creator, I was responsible for building the team, prototyping and developing the product, collecting feedback and evaluating product-market fit. These remain one of my favourite projects despite never making it to market, and our research and decisions continue to inform product decision. ### Director @ Riot Jan 2010 – Jan 2015 Creating and developing Riot's award-winning web-development application suite. ### Director @ IRIS Jan 2008 – Jan 2010 Director of IRIS, a digital agency in Auckland New Zealand.
