Synapse Synergy Group is my attempt to start a global "think-tank, incubator & accelerator" in order to develop new products and services utilizing technology in order to help make the world a better place for everyone. My first attempt was a failure and made me step back and reevaluate everything I had done wrong and was a big learning experience for me. I am now going to see if I can take what I learned and bring my dream to reality.

Stealth Mode Startup and not free to discuss what I do there in detail however I advise on security, compliance and cloud infrastructure just to name two of my roles.
I am working with Fast Lane US to assist with cutting-edge technology and emerging markets such as IoT, SDN, BYOD/BYOC, Devops, Big-Data, Cloud Computing, etc... basically any and all transformative/disruptive technology, to assist with content development for the trainers and offer real-world perspective and strategic advice as a SME to both Fast Lane and its clients as needed. I will also assist with helping to define new market opportunities for Fast Lane client sales and professional services divisions by helping them to see and define new emerging market opportunities which they can exploit, assisting them with taking full advantage of those opportunities through content development (webinar, certifications, training curriculum, boot camps, etc) and c-level executive advisory services and training as needed.
I was contacted to assist with a confidential Cloud Security Analysis for a large company wishing to begin utilizing Public Cloud Solutions but having serious concerns regarding security, compliance and control. Initial Project First Phase: Tasked with developing a strategic operational framework from which to secure their data and meet all federal and state compliance requirements as well as formulate the tactical process and procedures they would be using to verify nothing slipped through the cracks and that all the CSP (Cloud Service Providers) of choice were meeting their needs with regards to security, compliance and critical/sensitive data storage. As one of the best consulting companies I've had the pleasure of working with to date, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I highly recommend "Compass Solutions LLC" of Washington, DC, with the Highest Integrity & Competency both Owners and Staff have been working together since 2003. You could not place your business needs in better or more trustworthy hands.
The Founder of 4DHealthware came to me and asked for my via help multiple messages via Linkedin. She explained that she had put 3 years and everything she owned into the company and after three years they had NO PROTOTYPE, Not a single Software Developer or Technology Person on their founding team. I at first was not inclined to assist them and was told by Brig Burton, a good friend and Angel investor and other business advisers to :walk away as its obvious they do not know what their doing" however after speaking with Star I felt sorry for her position and knew I could help her and her company and I offered to perform three things in exchange for 15% of the company: 1. Develop their prototype from scratch - Which my company Synapse Synergy Group did over the next 7 months 2. Come on as Interim CTO and assist with their cloud infrastructure and the strategic technology 3. Assist them with obtaining funding through my and my co-founder Jake Tital who between us we have literally dozens of close investment contacts in the SV Area including Andreessen & Horowitz and many others. Up to that point we were told that Star and her team had been denied by over 50 investors from the East Coast investment community and up to then (Winter 2013) they had had zero success after 3 years After almost 8 month Star decided she no longer owed us or the over 13 SSG team members who worked on producing her website, marketing her & her company, putting her in contact with our investors & developing her software from concept to Beta & completely remaking her company into what it is today from a nobody no one had ever heard of Star has since claimed she owes us nothing, including the 15% promised, $1.5M for development of her cloud infrastructure SSG Has plans to sue Star Cunningham, 4DHealthware and everyone associated with that organization as soon as she has the funding for us to recover what is owed to us.
