Jamie Robertson | Full Stack Developer

I currently work as a Full Stack Developer for Stem Player. Stem Player is a platform for music artists to release their music in a new format, with the ability to remix and rework the music. Stem Player was originally a collaboration with Kanye West to design and develop a handheld audio mixing device.

The Stem Player was originally designed and developed by Kano Computing. Kano Computing designs products and software to empower kids by teaching them about technology.

I have previously worked as a developer for Reason Studios and Monki.
