In February of 2008 I founded Techoshark, inc. with my advisor Professor Richard
Han. The company received an SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) grant
from the National Science Foundation and produced a technology patent focused on
Social/Location aware mobile advertising. I helped develop and present a
business plan which won the award for best computer science business plan at the
CU New Venture Challenge in April 2009. I was Chief Architect, publicly
represented the company, built and managed the development team.
