Jamie Robertson

I am a full-stack developer with over 8 years of professional experience working with Python and React JS. In my latest role I worked for a music streaming startup that employs machine learning algorithms to modify and mix the audio data. The product is called Stem FM.

Stem FM (from company, STEM Tech) originated from a collaboration with Kanye West to develop a beautiful handheld audio mixing device called the StemPlayer. As of writing, the streaming service is still in an early access phase.

The partnership was originally with Kano Computing. Kano Computing designed web apps, DIY computers and coding kits for children. Designed to help empower them by teaching them about technology.

I have also previously worked as a developer for the music production software company Reason Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
