As CTO, Founder, and Board Member, I led the “new” DashBid Media to $32M top line revenue in 2015 from less than $50K in 2013. I conceived of and built the video advertising supply-side ad-tech platform that powered that growth, including client (browser) code that was executed hundreds of millions of times an hour, an efficient ad server and data-collection service, and a back-office big-data and analytics system that processed billions of rows every hour.

Dashbid (www.dashbid.com) is focused on video advertising and mobile couponing. Its rich, data-driven platform and next generation engagement features help content companies and publishers make more money on their online, social and mobile platforms by delivering better, more targeted advertising opportunities across national, regional, local, geo-targeted media.
