Moodfish, a semantic-based search engine for local events, was founded in 2008. We built algorithms that objectively quantified the subjective value of emotions when applied to search. While this ultimately led to a more natural search expression for consumers, we inadvertently stumbled onto something more interesting: the quantifiable consumer spend associated with local event searches. In other words, we could calculate that a consumer was likely to spend $75 on a Tuesday night when they were in the mood for something upbeat and quirky. Due to this, we updated our revenue model to focus on B2B2C as opposed to the original B2C model we originally designed the site around.

Using predictive analytics, behavior modeling, and really good user experience design (for both consumers and solar providers), SolarPulse hit conversation rates at 6x the industry standard within six months of deployment. These conversion rates stood true for both high volume and high touch customers.

Filament built hardware, firmware, and software technologies that embedded data integrity at the true physical-to-digital edge of the automotive industry. Using hybrid traditional and blockchain-based technologies, Filament developed the underlying architecture for vehicles to reliably and accurately transmit data from a vehicle to any hardware capable of interacting with the data.
Filament's products enabled the use of tokens (including cryptocurrencies) to facilitate real-world payments and vouchers for services rendered during the operation of the vehicle.
I worked with Filament for three years implementing project, product, and marketing processes that helped transform the company's user adoption and eventual client success.
