Last Day

Black Pixel is a company I helped found and have been proud to call home for two years now, as we worked our asses off to turn it into one of the premier iOS development squads in the world. We’ve built everything from children’s games to business tools to storefronts to streaming entertainment apps for some of the country’s biggest brands, and chances are you’ve used one of our apps and not known the months we poured into it. It’s been a helluva ride, but all rides end; today is my last day among the Pixels.

I’ll be joining Square, Inc. here in San Francisco just as soon as I’m done tackling this mountain of visa paperwork. It’ll be an opportunity to focus on just one service, just one product. One of the great strengths of working as a gun for hire is the incredible variety of problems to tackle, the experience of working so many deadlines for so many clients, and the broad set of skills it encourages you to develop. But I’m looking forward to focusing on some small but interesting problems at Square, and focusing hard. It’s a company to watch, and I’m excited to be coming aboard.
