Durabyte was founded through my experience with the Queen's Innovation Center Summer Initiative (QICSI) and The Foundry Program.

Our product was a specialized data coding algorithm that prolonged the useful lifespan of flash storage devices. Our target market was large cloud storage users and providers such as Microsoft and Facebook. I specialized in product development, competitor analysis, and graphic design.
