Mariusz Przydatek is an entrepreneur and technology enthusiast. For the last year and a half, he was designing and implementing the Gamebrain.com platform, a new cloud offering for the mobile gaming industry. Prior to that, he spent 7 years managing software development teams at Sabre Holdings, Inc. (SABR), a travel industry leader, owner of Travelocity and Lastminute.com brands.

Victor Quinn, J.D. is a technology leader, programmer, and systems architect, whose area of expertise is in leading teams to build APIs and backend systems.

Currently, he is building the API and backend system for SocialRadar, a group of start-up building mobile apps that provide real-time information on the people around you.

Prior to joining SocialRadar, Victor led a rewrite of the financial processing online forms and API for NGP VAN, a company that processed billions of dollars in campaign contributions during the 2012 election year. The system he orchestrated is on track to process even more contributions in the coming election years. He led his team to build this system, which included auto-filling and a sign-on system, enabling future contributions with a single click. All of these features were rolled up in a JavaScript single page app, embedding a fully functional payment-processing form into even a static web page with a single tag.

He has spent many years honing his skills with command-line tools, such as tmux in order to be maximally efficient in his work. His editor of choice is Emacs, and he uses the Dvorak keyboard layout.

He has Bachelor of Science degrees, one in Physics and the other in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and is a Juris Doctor with a focus on Intellectual Property Law from Western New England University. He is an eagle scout and a registered patent agent.

He lives in the Washington, D.C. metro area with his wife and Great Dane. There he enjoys brewing his own beer and riding his Harley.

Thank you to my amazing wife, Susan.
