peer-to-peer file sharing desktop app + browser experience
In 2007 I worked for the startup company Tubes at 1 Liberty Square in Boston. The simple and elegant file sharing desktop client created a lot of buzz in the previous 2 years and I was fortunate enough to be brought on board to work with the development team to iteratively bring the experience into the Web 2.0 realm. An additional initiative to incorporate social web interactivity and a more modern look to the app allowed me to quickly dive in and innovate despite the inherent tension between a typical user's goal to keep shared files private and the business' need to create a more engaging, socially-driven interactive online paradigm.
