Playfully hacking on things that matter

Playfully hacking on things that matter

After three amazing years at Aframe I'm "moving on". It's been equal parts fun, hard work, technical challenge, learning and inspiration. When I co-founded Aframe with David I wanted to really push myself into building something of scale. Hacking on things quickly and making fun stuff is good fun, but there's really something to be said for rolling up your sleeves and attacking a Very Hard Problem. And video production via the browser, as it turns out is very hard indeed. I'm really proud that our investors trusted that Aframe is onto a winner and my leaving the company comes almost concurrently with the recent announcement of a significant VC investment. Ever since day one I've adopted the mantra of "make yourself redundant" - that's what a technical cofounder should always be trying to do.
