From 2013 to 2015, I was part of the Pebble team — first as Developer Evangelist, then as Director of Apps & Developer Experience. I traveled the world evangelizing the platform, ran hackathons, built developer tools, and helped shape the ecosystem around one of the most beloved smartwatches ever made.
San Francisco — welcomed 50+ Pebble developers from around the world for a 4-day retreat. Sessions on designing for round displays and Pebble Time Round.
Wearable+Things Conference (MoDev), Washington DC — connecting the Pebble smartwatch to the broader ecosystem.
Wearables DevCon, Burlingame — introduction to Pebble hardware (144×168 B&W, ARM Cortex-M3), SimplyJS, and the C SDK.
Dev Diner interview — on color support adding a "3rd dimension to apps" and developer tools like CloudPebble.
Sponsorship Hacks Podcast — on building developer communities, running hackathons, and evangelism strategy.
Codementor live session — debugging, floating-point arithmetic, and Pebble development tips.
Some Pebble-era projects on GitHub: github.com/sarfata. Highlights include the ISS Tracker app for Pebble and contributions to the Pebble developer ecosystem.
The Pebble developer documentation lives on thanks to the Rebble community.
