Founder, PageKicker Corp. 2015 - 2017
Hedged trends in blockchain and microcommerce by mastering Python API for 21.co and using it to write a variety of scripts that queried the blockchain, carried out microtransactions, and retrieved JSON from my Flask API server that launched analysis and action scripts on my backend.
Developed open source algorithmic publishing pipeline in bash and Python that accepts demand cues in text or JSON; searches external permissioned content; fetches, analyzes and assembles; builds print and e-book interiors and covers; exports data and metadata to online stores (Magento) and distribution outlets; and uses social APIs for publicity.
