My career has been about organizing new markets and mobilizing community around emerging technologies. From the Mac, iOS, Facebook platform, Cloud Computing and CleanWeb to urban mobility and UrbanTech, I've created national and international communities of customers and developers to take advantage of what's new and real. My international impact spans more than a dozen countries including India, Israel, China, Russia and throughout Europe. In 2008, I was the first recipient of Facebooks fbFund as founder of Dynamo Labs (consumer energy efficiency and IoT). I was a pioneer in promotion and adoption of Facebook Platform leading early FB DevGarage events from 2007; iOS as co-founder at iPhoneDevCamp in 2007. At the advent of cloud computing (2008), I led Developer Evangelism at Joyent and earlier was a Product Manager at Intermec for RFID systems. With DEMOS Helsinki, et al, I co-authored of "The Smartup Manifesto which defines the opportunity at the confluence of big data, sensors, cleanweb, urban tech and the sharing economy. Ive spoken internationally on topics ranging from cleanweb, sustainability and urban tech to future mobility and connected car. As the CEO of Flux IOT, my team and I are democratizing access to the world's farming data through blockchain, AI, and radically affordable plant sensor tech. #4IR #UN2030 Follow me on Twitter @blakeburris
