ArtRabbit

ArtRabbit is a unique web + app guide to the contemporary art scene, connecting thousands of art spaces, exhibitions and events to artists, art professionals, collectors, students and art-interested people alike.

The site runs on an open-submission model, enabling independent artists, curators and vendors to publicise their events, and working worldwide, but focusing on London, Berlin, NY and LA.

I co-conceived and co-created the iOS & Android app along with a variety of new features and interactions on the site.

I build and manage backend systems for the site and app, including graph database design, programming and optimisation with Neo4J; REST API design; development and deployment setups with Vagrant and Google Cloud Platform; client app development using Redux/Sagas for React Native; server side programming in Lua/OpenResty, PHP and nginx; a custom high-performance caching image server and … pretty much anything else that comes up.
