Back in November I said we were looking for an iOS protoyper. I probably heard from about a hundred people who were interested in the position.
In the end, one guy stood out above all the rest.
His name is Travis Jeffery. Today is his first day at 37signals.
Besides having iOS code/design chops, he knows his way around Ruby, Rails, and Javascript. He’s active in open source, too. He’s sharp, thoughtful, and has a knack for details that make an interaction special.
Travis and I have already started working on an app together. We’re excited to see where it goes.
Everyone, say hi to Travis.

Would love to hear more about how he stood out over the hundred others, if time makes itself available— fascinated about how people stick out in such a large crowd.

@JF Very cool. Seems like this or this could be your main mode of communication? (actually, I think they’re the same)
Or I guess pushing one another’s limits. Very interested to see what becomes of this position.

Thanks, Jason.
@JudsonCollier: I just follow a few simple rules, #1: be handsome, #2: be attractive, #3: don’t be unattractive.
@KrazyCeltic: seems that way (?) https://twitter.com/bitsweat/status/296032949504188416
@mouhcine: 10+ years of discipline and smart/hard work.

Natalie was 35th “Please join us in welcoming our 35th Signal, Natalie Keshlear”. Who was hired between Natalie and Travis?
