In my previous life, I was a software engineer for a small company in Silicon Valley. By the time I started work on what ended up being my first Kickstarter project, I had been at my company for a few years and while the works was fulfilling, the new-job enthusiasm was starting to fade.
Eventually, as I continued to work on the project on the side, I decided to turn it into a Kickstarter. Soon after, the combination of work being stressful, and the project being exciting drove me to take the dive and leave my day job to pursue the Kickstarter in ernest.
I launched that Kickstarter and was funded and I haven't worked for a company since (going on 2 years now). It's been a fantastic and liberating experience working for myself and if the financials work out, I'm going to keep it that way for as long as possible.
Flickerstrip is the first consumer light strip that lets you control each pixel individually to create beautiful decorations with light.
