    After Microsoft acquired HockeyApp, I became the manager for the team of program managers. Our product portfolio included HockeyApp, Visual Studio App Center (the next generation of HockeyApp), Xamarin Test Cloud, CodePush, and Azure Notification Hubs. My team defined the vision and features for each product, works for design and development teams on the implementation, and engages with customers to create industry-leading DevOps solutions.

    HockeyApp is the best way to collect live crash reports, get feedback from your users, distribute your betas, recruit new testers, and analyze your test coverage. Launched in 2011, HockeyApp was one of the first DevOps solutions for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows developers, and made mobile developers around the world more productive. I co-founded HockeyApp together with Andreas Linde, Stefan Haubold, and Michael Simmons, and led the company as the CEO until the acquisition through Microsoft in December 2014.

Reference apps include the South Park app for iOS and Android, Zattoo for Android, or the original version of the Postbank app. As part of the HockeyApp acquisition, the Codenauts team joined Microsoft and now works on SDKs for HockeyApp and Visual Studio Mobile Center.
