Hi, I'm Brenden 👋
Husband, father, and technologist. Software Engineering Manager and chronic entrepreneur. I love building, tinkering, and learning new things. Addicted to coffee and X (Twitter).
About
I'm a product-minded technologist with 10+ years of experience building zero-to-one products both professionally and personally. At Morgan Stanley, I've led five greenfield client-facing apps across E*TRADE and Morgan Stanley Online, managing 12 engineers.
I recently launched an internal AI bootcamp to teach devs how LLMs work and how to best code with them, accelerating adoption across Wealth Management Technology. The training has been a success and is now expanding firm-wide to train ~20k developers.
I'm also the founder of Forwheel, a mobile app helping 150+ food truck owners save time and money. I previously co-founded Rbitrage Capital, growing it to $750K AUM via crypto trading algorithms.

I've worked on a variety of projects, from LLM Agents to mobile apps & extensions. Here are a few of my favorites.
Collaborative idea scoring and prioritization using a structured 10-factor framework. Combines blind peer ratings with AI scoring to surface what's worth building. Waitlist live!
Things I'm tinkering on
Early-stage ideas and technologies I'm passionate about exploring.
Thinking about wtf to do with all of my bookmarked posts on X. They often just sit there and collect dust.
Thinking about a fun way to gamify git for developers.
Toying with a new concept for a accountability app for achieving goals. Proof is in the puddin'.
Get in Touch
Best way to reach me is email or a quick DM on X. I'll reply when I can.
