If you send a text message today to a friend on another carrier, there’s a 50% chance it went through my software. Many billions a day

The
Product
SlamAd was a ‘whatsApp’ look-alike that allowed people equipped with the app on both sides of the chat to communicate. It added in ad-mob adds to the feed (OK, I have to say this was a silly idea for the company, but, hey, I learned a lot about the ad eco-system and they paid me well)
This the SlamAd website https://slamad.com. The app is no longer in the store.
The
Work
I was an Android development contractor to make money while I was building ‘SimplyCalled’
I developed the complete android side. The reason I mention this app in my portfolio is it gave me experience in mobile ads, getting them served on the phone and setting them up.
