    2011 - 2014

    As the first engineer and architect at Chartboost, I worked on designing our software stack and planning for the future. Starting from zero, I was instrumental in enabling our growth to a billion daily events, 120 employees, 500 servers, 60,000 apps… all in just our first few years. Some of my more significant contributions to Chartboost included writing our iOS SDK, designing our money processing infrastructure, our ad targeting algorithm, and driving the product development for the highly publicized launches of the Chartboost Store and Video interstitials.

    As the company grew into a larger engineering organization, I took on the additional responsibility of recruiting and building our mobile engineering team. The team is currently comprised of 5 full-time engineers, and is responsible for developing new products and features in our iOS, Android, and Unity SDKs.
