I joined Speechify when there were just over 50 employees at the company, building an iOS app and Chrome extension allowing the world to listen to the internet, often through Speechify's premium subscription. I joined as the first engineer on the platform team, leading subscriptions and payments for the company for 6 months. I then headed engineering for Speechify's B2B and enterprise API initiaitives for another 6 months as an Engineering Manager, and finally led engineering for Web Growth & Monetization for the company for a few months before parting ways, now focusing on my own company.
June 2021 — November 2021 I joined Shardus in mid-2021 when it was a small startup building decentralized tools for the web. The primary Shardus product was a tool to spin up decentralized blockchains that were easily scalable with state sharding, proof of stake, and more. I built out much of the Shardus website, documentation, and more. Eventually, Shardus started their biggest business partnership yet, Shardeum, which most recently raised a ~$18M pre-seed round to build the future of scalable blockchains as a layer 1 on Ethereum.
I started as a guest writer for GeeksforGeeks writing technical articles, and then interned for them for a year as a content writer. I wrote several articles about a variety of topics, mostly focusing on full stack web development.
