Bio: Hi, I'm Brandon! I'm a programmer, writer, and entrepreneur. After receiving my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science from Cornell University, I worked for Raytheon (a Fortune 100 company operating in the defense space) for three years building and managing both classified and unclassified intelligence-critical data systems. Since then, I've co-written and published multiple USA Today Bestselling romance books and have sold over one million copies. What excites me the most is finding opportunities where novel cross-disciplinary approaches can be used to produce outsized gains. To that end, I try to keep up with the latest tech developments as well as consumer market developments, looking for opportunities to marry the two together.

2015. Chisel Shave Club -- subscription box business for artisanal shaving supplies. Delivered ~100 boxes. Pics | Backup Site
2012. Tasty Referral -- the idea was to connect restaurants with customers via an incentives program that rewards people for sharing food pics on their social media. Didn't pass the Customer Development phase. Lots of problems with this idea: difficult to incentivize ppl to do stuff; it's hard to make the ROI on such a rewards system work; it's hard to track that the customers completed the action; hard to deter fraud.
2012. Tutora -- CRM for tutors. Didn't pass the Customer Development phase. Turns out most tutors only do tutoring part time and so don't require a CRM solution to manage only a few clients.
