¡Hola! I'm Brian, a Creative Technologist & Entrepreneur from the mountains in the heart of Costa Rica. I assemble and guide teams of rockstar creatives to build dynamic interactive solutions. ⛰ From ages 23 to 33, my college bff and I grew an award-winning design and development studio in Allentown, PA, named 4O1! After a decade immersed in hustle culture entrepreneurship, I embraced our acquisition by Hammer.net. Taking some time off, I followed my heart, which led me to a new life in Costa Rica, complete with a unicorn wife, a magical second son, an exhilarating new venture, and endless adventures. 🤠 I was uncertain about my career trajectory in the land of Pura Vida until I was recruited in late 2020 by Associated Restaurant Services, better known as "ARS." Having consulted for this 40-year-old food service industry innovator for over a decade, the transition was seamless, especially since the new family owner was my middle school best friend! He tasked me with digitizing the equipment and facilities maintenance training they had been providing to Starbucks for over a decade. 🧜🏽‍♀️ Their training was commendable (even receiving a Bravo Award from Howard Schultz in 2008), but the content was dry and unengaging, especially for the predominantly Gen-Z workforce. My challenge was to build a lovable, scalable MVP in less than a year on a bootstrap budget, with minimal assistance in course creation. No small feat... 😅 But we did it! And thus, Green Machine was born. Three-plus years into development, we've crafted an impressive Training & Support Platform, meticulously designed to upskill Starbucks Partners while empowering managers to train more effectively and efficiently. 🤖 Discover more at GreenMachineARS.com. 💚 What drives me? 👨‍🎨 Art & Design 🤖 Building New Things 🌍 Travel & Living Abroad 🙏 Mindful Living & Meditation 🌱 Enhancing People's Lives Feel free to connect if I can offer assistance, or if you'd like a behind-the-scenes look at our platform. 📩 [email protected]
