After purchasing an HTC G1 Google phone in Mountain View in 2008 Mezcode was founded by Elizabeth Mezias. She downloaded the Android SDK and started writing apps. She has been working full time in mobile ever since. You can find some of her work on the Android Market. Mezcode apps also got into the Blackberry App World and Kindle Fire markets. Early on, the Mezcode Alarmoid app was entered into the Android Developer Challenge and scored in the top 25% of applications overall from thousands of entries. This led to a love of hackathons and coding competitions. The scheduling features of that app are now known as "Do not Disturb," a standard feature.

She published apps privately, off the Google Play market, in clinical studies for a research team at Stanford University. Her work is on the cutting edge. That team is using apps to influence behavior and help people make good choices. The project includes animated live wallpapers, home screen widgets and daily polls to collect data from participants in an intervention - a preventive health study. More details about this work in Healthy Aging Studies can be found on the Stanford Apps project page. More recent work on Android has included AOSP devices (Mirror) and a deep dive into the world of Bluetooth and BLE controlled by mobile phones. Technology is changing fast. Elizabeth is known for her ability to recognize trends and work with successful technologies.

She got started with Objective-C and NextStep. She met Steve Jobs when he was preaching rapid iteration and cross-platform development. She jumped on to the wildly successful Java platform starting with version 1.1.4 at Sun Microsystems. Her years on mobile track both iPhone and Android platforms. Her code is in Kotlin but feature specifications and designs that include iOS devices are always part of the work. She is able to communicate complex technical ideas to lay-people as well as other engineers having been both an Individual Contributor and a Director of Technical Support. She is making new connections from Boston to Silicon Valley to New York and beyond. She is a founder who likes working as a team with people on small start-ups and in universities. Her experience also includes large multi-national corporations like Adobe Systems and Sun. Ms. Mezias is originally from Bridgeport, CT and resides there today.

Elizabeth is skilled in Design Thinking and in Wearables. In 2013 she was part of the invitation-only Glass Foundry event for indy developers. It was like touching the sky to become a Glass Pioneer in Google's SF office overlooking the Bay Bridge; an awesome privilege. She bought Google Glass #534 and collaborated on a Glass project with Stanford University Human Computer Interface grad students to bring this wearable technology into health care, specifically to doctors at Stanford hospital. This work builds on her earlier work on the MILES project. There are other pages on this site that provide more information. She wears a Samsung watch and has published several solo apps for smartwatch and wearable platforms. Glanceable Design is another core part of her professional experience in mobile UX.
Agile methodology in her work today builds on her Elizabeth's early belief in rapid proto-typing from the start of her career on NeXTStep. She has open source projects and a strong professional network including affiliations with the Google Developer Groups and Women Techmakers. If you want a mobile technology subject matter expert - you found her.
