James EdwardsProduct Engineer
Founding engineer at Boba, an AI-native crypto trading platform, where I work across the product as a full-stack engineer.
I’m also building DateBot on the side.
Previously, I co-founded Fits, a fashion social network that grew to 11K+ users, where I was CTO and led the product and technical side end to end. Before that, I was the sole engineer and co-founder of Jump, a consumer dating app where I built the product from the ground up alongside a small founding team.
