I'm the founder of Seles Games. Our signature app is Weave News Reader for Windows Phones and Windows 8.

Sr. Partner Engineer @ From March 2015 to Present (8 months) Mountain View, CAPresident, Founder @ I founded Seles Games in April 2010 shortly after the announcement of the Windows Phone platform, with the goal of creating an RSS app, striking it rich, and using that money to create some killer mobile games. Turns out creating an engaging news app is a fulltime job! Weave News Reader for Windows Phone began as a news app that performed its news aggregation locally on each user's phone, and grew into a cloud service running on Windows Azure that allows for cross-platform news syncing. Via partnerships with other companies, I was able to launch clients on other platforms as well. As a result, there are now Weave apps for Windows 8, NokiaX, and Asha, joining the original Windows Phone app. My personal job duties at Seles Games: - C# programming, client application - Weave service's REST API - built via C#, Windows Azure, ASP.NET Web API, and a whole lot of asynchronous best programming in .NET practices. - UI design - Photoshop and Expression Blend - Management and project coordination - making sure all partners were on the same page with platform-specific Weave clients - Work with platform owners such as Microsoft and Nokia for feature app promotion and other marketing opportunities Highlights: - Selected as one of ten apps to participate in LG's "hAPPiness" campaign. I was flown out to the Microsoft campus for a 3-day workshop/deep-dive with the goal of making each of those apps a platform "hero" app that would be promoted and showcased in marketing material - Partnered with Microsoft OneNote to integrate their new HTML clipping API into Weave News Reader (see video below) - Partnered with Nokia to bring Weave to their new Android-based platform NokiaX, as well as to their existing Asha phone platform From April 2010 to Present (5 years 7 months) Palo Alto, CASenior Software Engineer and Architect (C#, .NET, SQL, REST, XAML) @ Concurrently with operations and responsibilities for Seles Games, I also performed consulting and contracting work with companies using .NET technologies.
