In 2006 when no one knew what twitter was I was busy leaving my advertising gig at fastclick and still testing my skills with rails. I had no design experience at the time, and Zivity was looking for its first full time engineer. I read the Zen of CSS design..
They thought I had what it took and one year later I had helped them land $10M in venture capital. Meanwhile I cried “we need a human computer interaction specialist!" And the angel team was so good they landed John Manoogian
And while everyone was being cool running on Apple machines I took the humble road and installed gentoo on an old toshiba to save money… You know startups.
Meanwhile after design change after design change we finally landed something that looked artistic and unique.
I was in charge of building everything in rails 1.x - 2.x . Building out features so photographers could upload a zip file of all of the photos. So the servers would unzip them… Making it so the photographers could put a nice lipstick stamp on the photos for copyright protection. Allowing models and photographers to become friends and follow each others work. Hooking up paypal payments so fans could vote on a set, or a photo for a $1.
And then there was reading and reading… and keeping up with rails on edge or off… books still helped.
Engineering and styling all of the pages that John could dream about… and little did we know Cyan and Scott landed a venture deal and the site is still up though with a different look. Thanks to digging into yet another book:
Two years at this startup prepared me up to bring a professional presence wherever I worked thereafter. It taught me that loving what I made could make an important difference even if that difference is as small as a font choice.
So I took a short vacation for my birthday
And as a side project I took to facebook and a spin the bottle app that grew about 5,000 users.

From my 2014 photoshoot with Ted, which I jokingly named Master of Corn.
This particular set was once part of my Zivity portfolio.

When I worked at Zivity, John mentioned we should work on a site for people like me. Orphans. Fostered kids. Adopted people. I blinked hard. What a concept. Lately I finally found the time to put it together. I’d made two social networks by hand… what if I put something together that was open source? I found someone working on a rails project in spain… and I decided to put the time in to have a go at it. So saywerad.com was born.

"Destacando a la Alt Model" Yo prefiero 1000 veces "No Make Up" ya que asi se muestra la belleza real de la mujer (es mi opinión). Me encanta ésta bella mujer y doy gracias por conocerla. Es hermosísima , profesional en lo que hace y muy humilde. Eso lo agradezco caleta... Hace unos trabajos preciosos (sets fotográficos) y que mejor que los fotografíe la gran Mona. Seca las 2. Cabros, al que le guste éste mundo, siganla y apoyenla como yo lo hago. Tengo un montón de Prints de mi washi, por lo que soy su mejor fans jijiji . Me encantas y te quiero mi washi @meegux3 ... Gracias 🙌🙋😉😄😎😻😍❤💙💞💚💜💕 !!! #altmodelsfans #altmodelslover #altmodels #zivity #zivitygirls #zivitygirl #zivitychile #zivitymodel #zivitygirlschile #meegu #meeguzivity #meegustas #inkedgirl #inkedbaby #instatattoo #instachilean #chileangram #casablancacity #marito #fans #seguidor #musa #musainspiradora
