In the over 6 years at BRD we have saw incredible growth and expansion. From relatively humble beginnings as a simple Bitcoin wallet for iOS, I grew the BRD product portfolio to include multiple revenue sources and over 10 million users. Some of the highlights over the past 6+ years include.

• Brought our app to Android app with no compromise to customer security
• Designed and implemented monetization strategy for consumer mobile apps
• Raised $32M to fund the BRD Rewards Program in an ERC20 token offering
• Created Blockset, an enterprise blockchain data service, which powered the BRD app and 3rd enterprise customers

• Lead development of mobile iPad game
• Created highly configurable patient management platform with dynamic content types, governed by a dynamic roles and permissions system
• Majority investor, providing funding for development, business, marketing, and legal

Lightt began as the manifestation of my desire to create a moving, daily portrait of mine and my friends life. In a way, it is sort of the ancestor to Snapchat and Instagram Stories. It was a video capture and consuption application that allowed you to capture short segments that became part of an infite timeline you could jump into at any time.

It was acquired in 2014 and shuttered in 2015. You can still see videos of it youtube.

• Product creation and vision from the beginning
• Raised a $1M seed round on MVP
• Built an engineering and product team

• Designed and developed iPhone app in 3 months
• 2 months later delivered an iPad app
• Built iOS and Android development teams
