Studio Lead at Rumble

Managed John at Rumble

I highly recommend John McGlone. I worked alongside John for five years at Callin and Rumble, and I also served as his manager for a portion of that time.

During our time together, John single-handedly built the Rumble Studio app from the ground up. This project perfectly highlighted his remarkable autonomy and technical execution. He operates with a high degree of independence, requiring virtually no oversight to deliver complex products. John’s passion for iOS development has shone through his work, always chomping at the bit to integrate the latest feature and hardware platforms as soon as they were available. John is a trustworthy, reliable, and incredibly skilled engineer who would be a massive asset to any technical team.
