Experience
CTO, Tac Swipe
July 2016 - Present
Co-founded Tac Swipe, online gear marketplace based on a “Tinder” style swiping format. I incorporated the company, designed the look and function of the app, project-managed the development with a team of 6 devs, and deployed our app to App Store and Google Play store. I then managed the basic user support and admin duties of our stack, worked closely with our developer to build a scaling server solution that worked seamlessly, resisted security exploits, and cost us as little as possible each month. We gained roughly 5,000 users in the test market DFW area within 4 months of launch.
