Our Team.

Steven’s vision for HustleFish was spawned during his time in the startup world in Los Angeles. Under his guidance, a lean, mean team of creatives and developers launched several projects including a cookbook app and grocery delivery service (just before it became cool), and a vinyl record subscription service; the team even prototyped and produced a bluetooth enabled turntable that integrated with a users Spotify to integrate their analog experience in a digital world. When the team wasn’t working on their own projects, they were operating as a development agency for household names like Vimeo, Roku, and Butterball Turkey. Steven’s impressive background in development gives him the expertise to lead our team of developers on a variety of projects from websites (WordPress, Craft, Shopify, etc.) to applications (iOS, Android, React Native, etc.)

Matt comes to HustleFish with a rich history of managing large, custom development projects. His project management expertise was honed first at a large marketing agency where he led a variety of projects including web-based applications, marketing automation, front end development and more. From there, he dove deeper into managing even more technically complex projects, leading software development for medium to large scale Python, Django, React, Plone, and AWS projects. Matt’s ability to drive project clarity from beginning to end is invaluable to the HustleFish team and clients. He has a laser focus on the clients’ goals for a project, and has the technical know-how to ensure the HustleFish developers accomplish those goals. Matt’s path has brought him to a place where he can help solve complex problems in unique and creative ways to develop intricate web based applications that delight customers and inspire coworkers.

Rebecca works with our other developers to bring Jess’ creative work to life. Her talent for using subtle animation to add interest and motion to our websites helps us highlight key aspects of the design, especially the “calls to action” sprinkled around the site. Rebecca is also our first line of support, responding nearly instantly to client requests and support tickets. She keeps all our sites up to date on the backend as well, performing regular updates as well as running security checks to ensure everything is locked down tight.

Usually, there is a massive divide between a developer (someone who is left-brained, technical, loves to dig into code) and a designer (someone who is right-brained, wacky, creative, able to breathe life into a project and create light from darkness). Somehow, Tyler is able to wear either hat interchangeably. His creative brain is able to envision the best user experience that provides the “wow” factor our clients are looking for, without sacrificing clarity and ease of use. As a developer, he makes writing code look simple, pulling lines of complex javascript and PHP out of his hat as if it were no more than a rabbit.
