Led the Kanvas brand after our acquisition by Aol. During my time at Aol, we tripled the team, grew the user base 25x, acquired an animation technology startup and transitioned the business to a developer platform. The platform now offers developers the most advanced camera on the market with rich media editing, special effects, AI art (neural style transfer), live video steaming with animations, augmented reality face tracking and much more as a leading brand in the Aol portfolio serving tens of millions of monthly active users.
