Thank you for everything you do and Congratulations, James! We are so lucky to have you!

"Kenaley has been instrumental in designing and implementing a powerful, publicly accessible API and webhook system at Hype, an audience development and monetization platform for creators. His colleagues say these types of features are seldom seen at early-stage startups, but Kenaley delivers with ease by leveraging existing resources. His dedication to detail delighted his team when they discovered that he’d included a logging history of webhooks to show how many people were using the new feature.

Not only is he innovative, but Kenaley’s colleagues say he is charismatic to boot. He has built a loyal team to help forge a new avenue in the creator economy."
