    Our Story

    Back before Amplfy.me, my friend and co-founder, Hue, came to me, Frey, with a question: "Why can't people record video from their phone and broadcast it to anyone who they want to share it with?" And, then, later, "Why can't people cut to other people's broadcasts while broadcasting?" These were good questions; we thought it'd be cool to make this possible.

    We are making it simple to create and share what you see, always available, anytime from your smartphone. We are also making it simple for others to watch your stream -- live or archived -- from any browser (or phone), anytime. But, what if, while you're broadcasting, you see some other broadcast with a better view? You simply cut to their stream bringing your audience along with you.

    Interviewing

    I believe in a lightweight interview process: initial intro and two interviews, one of which is technical. I look for the ability to solve problems and not whether or not you know O(n) of a particular algorithm.
