I started Strolo with a buddy of mine at Weave. We were constantly bouncing ideas of each other and the idea for Strolo really stuck. So we began work on it for a couple months. I then realized if we were going to make progress I needed to go full time on this. I quit my day job and went full time for a couple months, but after we continued to do more market research, release the MVP, and adapt. We quickly realized that we were headed in a direction we didn't want to go. With it all though. It was an awesome experience and would do it again! Time for a new ventrue!

When I joined Weave, they were at the start of gaining massive growth. Originally I joined to be apart of their analytics team building graphs and other UI experiences that go along with analytics. Shortly after starting, I found myself constantly addressing tech debt. Tech debt is totally understandable for where Weave was at on their journey. In order to scale the product and keep it secure I, along with another dev created a plan to migrate, update, and better secure their product. I then moved to a team where I was able to dedicate all my time to the core infrastructure of the products. I was also able to become a "Chapter Lead" over 6-7 Frontend engineers.

When I started at Jane one of my main tasks was to migrate their frontend from Angular to React. In doing so, we were able to increase the performance of the site 10 fold. Being a huge fan of React Native, I put a proposal together to build an upcoming app they wanted built for the sellers of Jane in React Native. When it came down to it and I got the green light, I had weeks to build a fully fledged app in time for Jane's seller conference. It was quite the feat and I was able to get it out the night before, or should I say morning of.
