23shout

23shout

FounderJun 2019 - Aug 2023 - 4 year 2 months

23shout is a phone solution for medium to large businesses. My first startup, we were an eventual team of 6 people across the globe working to make our customers happy.

Voted one of the top 4 startups in Brisbane, I started 23shout to make contact centers less of a headache. Though receiving funding from Skalata Ventures, 23shout has since shuttered.

I've spoken at length about the number of lessons I learned working on the shout™, if you're interested in how it ended specifically please give our podcast episode about it a listen.

Most notably for me personally, this is the point in time I switched to using a Mac.

At Clipchamp I worked on the Editor Team, responsible for our core editing experience. If you have complaints about the timeline in the editor submit them to me.

During my time there I helped push the team to adopt React, and develop out our custom Drag and Drop system to better handle the complicated use cases required from video editing UI, and deliver ideas developed between Product and our users.

Clipchamp was ultimately acquired by Microsoft and is now part of the OMG group and Office 365 with ≈200m MAU, shipping with the OOBE in Windows 11.
