APPIX
FlagshipCo-Founder & Engineer
A patented live-experience broadcast platform - shipped to the App Store & Google Play, seen by 1M+ people at events for UFC, Disney/Pixar, Red Bull and more.
APPIX is a patented live-experience platform I co-founded that broadcasts real-time, synchronized content to an audience’s smartphones during live events - turning a crowd’s phones into a coordinated second screen (synced light shows, live stats, exclusive content), even without cellular data or WiFi, so it keeps working in congested venues or during outages. What I built: the control station - in Python, running on dedicated on-site hardware - that drives a network of Eddystone BLE beacons (I chose Eddystone so identical signals reach iOS and Android natively, with no network dependency); plus the phone-side receiver logic in native Objective-C (iOS) and Java (Android) that detects the beacons and fires synchronized in-app moments in real time. Since coming out of stealth in 2019, APPIX has reached over a million people, powering experiences for the UFC (a custom “UFC In Action” app), Disney/Pixar’s Coco live event, Red Bull, Shaw, and a 55-date New Kids on the Block tour. Rated 4.0★ on the App Store.
