• When I started Trymph, mobile applications primarily provided single-player experiences. Our key idea was to create a Cloud platform that app-developers could use to easily create multiplayer experiences.
• The key technical challenges in building these Cloud services were to compensate for the high-latency and low-bandwidth networks, ability to scale for a much larger user-base, and support an off-line operation with shorter duration interactions. We addressed latency and scaling by building edge-cacheable REST APIs, and offline operation with a local store-and-forward messaging solution. In addition, we provided Cloud services for a number of common user-cases such as user account management, match-making, turn-based async multiplayer gaming, in-game push notifications and chat. We also created Android and iOS native SDKs for use by app-developers.
• Using our own platform, we created 9+ multiplayer games. 3 of our games reached more than a million users each. One of our game was written with cross-platform code-base across Android, iOS and Web.
• Trymph was acquired by Peel Technologies in 2014, and I joined Peel as its Chief Software Architect.
