Heartbeat by Fritz
By using our models, they can transform any image or video to look as if they were created in the style of famous artists like Van Gogh or Picasso. We work on a small team, so I help do a little bit of everything - from building user-facing features to taking sales calls and finding new customers. Younger Cedrone would be proud that I’m still leveraging my Java skills and leading our efforts to build our Android library. Overall it’s been a blast - learning a lot of cutting edge technology and having a lot of fun in the process, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes us.
