• I really loved my time with MoveU. Incredible company with a vision to truly empower people to free themselves from pain and embrace an active lifestyle. When I joined there were classic growing pains but more importantly a strong desire to embrace technology to help deliver content in more creative ways. I helped them stabilize their learning management system and put them on a path to be less reliant on social media platforms for customer acquisition and success. We built a mobile app in a React Native/MongoDB stack which we built with the help of a remote development shop.
• My time was spent helping the C-Suite with the technology vision and transition to new business mechanics which wasn't always comfortable. I helped design the product and facilitate all the stakeholders in sometimes difficult conversations about where to go and how to please our customers. It's amazing to work with passionate founders.
• I will always cherish my time with MoveU and I continue to be of help where I can in a technology advisory capacity.
