iOS Developer & Professional Hackathoner

Jun 2014 – May 2015 · 11 mos · San Francisco Bay Area

Bootstrapped our eventual start-up by winning $100k in hackathons.
One of the hackathons we won was sponsored by Uber, back when they had an API. After the hackathon, an early employee invited us to their headquarters (this was in 2015 during peak Travis era) and asked if we wanted to lead a "super secret food transportation product"... when deliberating whether we should take it, apparently I told my co-founder, "If we're this successful off the little we've done, imagine what we could be if we kept going!" so we turned down the offer and started Sway Finance. That super secret project became Uber Eats, and well, Sway Finance isn't around anymore.
