Founder & product work
- WhiskeyMate — Founder and sole developer. Born from the 2020 pandemic: Bryan had never shipped a mobile app but had been waiting for a use case strong enough to justify the climb—and one that was not already solved well.
- Birdie Tickets — Co-Founder and CIO. Premium golf gear, raffled the way post-tournament parties already think about giveaways, except the prizes stay high-end and ticket pools stay small (often fewer than twenty-five).
- This Fucking Guy / This Fucking Gal — Creator and lead developer. Born on the road between St.
- Drift Audio — Founder and developer. A Flutter sleep-sounds app born in North Carolina's Outer Banks after a frustrating search for simple white noise without handing over an email, creating an account, or paying a subscription.
