Shapiro Industries, Inc. in an umbrella company for my iOS consulting business as well as other personal projects. More on that soon.

I can help you prototype an idea, build a v1, or be another set of hands to help you hit a deadline.
I'm currently not taking on any new clients.

Past clients include:

-  Anchorage (<a href="http://anchorage.com">anchorage.com</a>) – I built a handful of features for Anchorage's iOS app which is used by the biggest crypto funds and hedge funds in space to safely custody and move their cryptocurrencies.

-  Primer (<a href="http://primer.com">primer.com</a>) (acquired by Shopify) – Built a large portion of their v1 including a bunch of UI flows, checkout, Shopify integration, some AR prototyping and some SwiftUI prototyping

-  Holloway (<a href="http://Holloway.com">Holloway.com</a>) – Built out an alternative login flow and Stripe checkout

-  Nano (formerly RaiBlocks) (<a href="http://nano.org">nano.org</a>) –  Built Nano's iOS wallet and managed the development of the Android wallet

-  The Cash App/Square Cash (cash.me) – Built a snapshot testing framework where we screenshots of every screen on every device size and built a check into the continuous integration flow to check if screens changed by more than 5%, if so, tests failed. Also built sounds and haptics into the Cash App.

-  <a href="http://Raise.com">Raise.com</a> – Helped with the launch of v3

-  Alice Financial (<a href="http://thisisalice.com">thisisalice.com</a>) –  Built early infrastructure

Joined Product Hunt on a contract basis as the second engineer. Helped build out the site through seed funding, Y Combinator, and the $6.1M in funding received from Andreessen Horowitz.

My work was full-stack, though I mostly focused on front-end features. Product Hunt is written in Ruby on Rails and CoffeeScript.

A few highlights:
-  Built a notification condensing system to condense, manage, and update in-bound notifications to the user such as upvotes, comments, and replies
-  Introduced nested comments so users could have discussions more intuitively
-  Implemented a site-wide redesign for both web and mobile
-  Worked closely with the Product Hunt community to solicit feedback on features and the site in general
