Tap for Tap
Lead Mobile and Web Developer, System Admin
February 2012 - March 2014
Initially I wrote all of Tap for Tap: our Ruby web & API server, node.js real-time matching system, JavaScript front-end, iOS, and Android SDKs and plugins for various other platforms (PhoneGap, AdMob mediation, etc). I also maintained the servers.
We grew a lot and I offloaded tasks to other developers who helped with overall architecture, and fully maintained the web interface (including some front-end related Ruby) and all of the SDKs and plugins. I focused on the overall architecture, backend Ruby and node.js code, and system administration.
