Brenden is an inspirational technology leader to work with. As an engineer he is incredibly innovative, talented and hard working, and his passion for building scalable real time and big data based products is infectious. But even more admirable is his passion and skill for recruiting, organizing and motivating amazing engineering teams, ranging from small startups to large distributed multi-disciplinary organizations. Simply put, one of the most impactful technologists I have ever worked with.

Working with someone who has "been there and done it" cuts through all the noise. Brenden helped us move faster on the technical side with our SOCII compliance and helped us better align product development and marketing efforts. Highly recommend working with Brenden!

Brenden is a real technical leader. He sets a high bar, leads by example, mentors his charges, and inspires loyalty. I always felt valuable reporting to Brenden, but also compelled to constantly step up my game. Working with him was a memorable pleasure.

I've witnessed first-hand Brenden's capabilities as a CTO. He excels in taking products from concept to production. He's also a great recruiter and nurturer of talent.
