Joe is the Android Lead at Buffer, a Google Developer Expert, and the creator of ChordAssist, the accessible smart guitar for the blind, deaf, and mute.

For those of you feeling a bit stuck having to work from home, there are many tips and tricks in this episode about how to adapt to the new environment. Among many other topics, you’ll hear about what tools he uses for async communication, how they collaborate at Buffer, and which online courses he recommends. We also talked about some of the pain points of developing mobile apps — especially for Android — and how Mobile DevOps fits into the picture.
