A Year In Review

🚀 Professional Endeavors

This year was all about growth and balancing growing my career and building something meaningful with my talents. Earlier this year, the company I was working for, Tango, was acquired by a company down in California and I had an opportunity to think about what I wanted to do next. If you’ve know me well, you know that I’m the app guy for Treefort Music Fest and have been building software and apps for other festivals as well. This summer I took a leap and decided to lean in on helping more events do the work that truly matters, bringing people together. (If that sounds cheesy, pls help us come up with some better way to communicate that, but we mean it I swear! 🙃)

Our current codename is Dionysus, which is the greek god of festivities, and we have been gaining momentum, exploring how we can best help event organizers beyond just music festivals. We’ve been pitching to new customers, rolling out lots of iOS and Android apps, and building web technologies for events of all sizes. It’s been rewarding to see the vision come to life. It’s a huge change of pace working for yourself and has a few challenges — tight deadlines, late nights, and the occasional impostor syndrome — but Will and I are building something awesome and we’re stoked.
