Brett Taylor

I am a software developer from Vancouver, BC. I grew up in Mission, BC. I studied Computer Science at UBC. And now, I am a graduate student in human-computer interaction in the Interaction Lab at the University of Saskatchewan. I will be completing my M.Sc. in the summer of 2012 and I am looking for interesting job opportunities. I am interested in solving real-world problems using technology.

I speak a little French. I taught English in Paris for a few months. And I'm a yogi.

NoteByMail is a text note and voice memo app for iOS. I created this app to streamline a common task I found myself doing on my iPhone. Since I tend to manage important notes and reminders by sending myself mail so I could track them from my inbox, I found myself frequently composing a new email and sending it to myself. This took too many steps if I was in a hurry. With NoteByMail, all I need to do is type a note or record a voice memo and tap send. From there, it will be sent by mail and appear in my inbox.
