Brian Rue’s Experience

• Co-founder / Head of Technology

  LOLapps

  (Privately Held; Internet industry)

  January 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)

• Web Developer

  hikkup.com

  (Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Internet industry)

  March 2007 — November 2007 (9 months)

  I worked mostly in PHP, Javascript, and Actionscript to build web2.0 applications (hikkup.com and cubevoice.com) and flash widgets.

• Co-founder

  Rebel Books

  (Retail industry)

  June 2006 — June 2007 (1 year 1 month)

  I got my roommate and another friend to start this with me... we bought hundreds of used textbooks from students on campus and then sold most of them on Amazon. We did make money, but it wasn't scalable enough to turn into something real.

• Business Operations

  Internet Landrush

  (Privately Held; Internet industry)

  November 2005 — October 2006 (1 year)

  I made cold calls, negotiated deals, and worked to automate the business processes as much as possible. The most fun part was hacking together a collaborative CRM application in about three weeks.
