Live Event Photo Sharing Platform

AirCam · Founding Developer · Consumer Photo + Mobile Web

Project Summary

AirCam enabled live photo sharing at events: one photographer captures, and everyone at the venue can view high-quality images almost immediately on their phones. I designed and built the attendee-facing mobile web experience end-to-end—the most-used surface in the product—optimizing for speed, delight, and reliability under real event constraints.

Highlights

1. Mobile-first viewing experience that feels native
   Designed a fast, touch-friendly interface for browsing, filtering, and enjoying high-resolution photos on the kinds of devices people actually bring to events.
2. Real-time photo delivery (moment-to-moment)
   Delivered a “shots show up as they happen” experience—built around a live feed model that kept guests engaged without requiring installs, accounts, or training.
3. Performance for real-world networks and real-world loads
   Tuned the experience for crowded venues, inconsistent reception, and the real ratio of one uploader → many viewers. The goal: keep the feed responsive and the media crisp without melting bandwidth.
4. Tight integration with capture pipeline
   The attendee web app was built to pair cleanly with the photographer-side flow (camera → companion iOS pipeline → web delivery) so the entire system felt like one product, not stitched-together parts.

Why it matters (for clients)

If you need a web product that behaves like a real-time app—especially media-heavy, mobile-first, and used in chaotic environments—this is exactly my comfort zone.
