Experience
ACo-founder & CTORewindpixJul 2025 – Now
- raised on Kickstarter
- $1.37M
- accounts
- ~12K
- monthly active users
- 8,600+
A screen-free digital “film” camera and its companion app. I built the software largely on my own and own it end to end: the iOS and Android app, the link to the camera, the backend and the website.
- Took the companion app from first commit to launch on the App Store and Google Play, and wrote about 90% of its code (~590 commits in a year). It now has 8,600+ monthly active users.
- Designed the image pipeline at the core of the product: film stocks as 3D LUTs, a film editor, and one render path shared by preview and export, verified by pixel-parity tests.
- Built the Wi-Fi link between the app and the camera firmware: loading film rolls, keeping roll state in sync, remote shutter.
- Run the backend and revenue stack: accounts, cloud sync and subscriptions on Supabase and RevenueCat, plus the Shopify storefront, for a product that raised $1.37M from 8,925 backers, 91× its Kickstarter goal.
- Own releases on both app stores (CI builds, per-platform release branches, in-app update checks), and now scope work and review pull requests for two contributors.

- #2
The booking system behind NYU’s 370 Jay St. About 1,200 students, staff and facilities teams use it to book 22 rooms, plus a much larger pool of equipment.
- One of four developers, and the second most active contributor since joining (246 commits), shipping across roles, approvals and the booking form.
- Built per-resource approvals, so each room can have its own approvers, and moved admin permissions onto per-resource records.
- Turned NYU booking policy into validation: chartfields, sponsor Net IDs, attendance thresholds that trigger a security review, and late cancellations.
- Added a maintenance mode that pauses bookings without locking staff out.
- Fixed Google Calendar sync and attendee notifications, and added unit tests for navigation and forms.
