Looking back at this particular project, I believe I touched just about every screen a user sees - there's a lot! It's definitely the one of the most complex, fully-featured apps I've been a part of. The most interesting feature I developed was the Stickers keyboard extension. It was the first (of many) iOS Keyboard Extensions I created and probably one of the most challenging as the keyboard extension had to communicate with the native app to be effective - shared keychain and app containers to the rescue. I spent quite a bit of time integrating their custom Northstar 3D engine, too. I had the pleasure of working with the Northstar engine team for FTUX, profile cards and chat now. The engineers at IMVU, Inc were insanely smart and I learned immensely during my time there. Did I mention IMVU, Inc was the company that created all the sticker assets for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's KIMOJI stickers? "We made a million a minute, we made a million a minute" - Kanye West
