Hi All, I’m Brian Haney. All else being peripheral, I am a hard worker looking for opportunity to help projects building on Algorand. I am a lawyer in the United States, and was previously a research fellow at Stanford Law School. I have also been building on Algorand for about 3 and a half years. I’ve published OSS, managed and completed security audits, published research and patent documents, and have won several Algorand Foundation grants with a perfect milestone completion record, 13-0. I am a hard worker from a blue collar family, and I am hungry for opportunity to help make Algorand great.

Please feel free to reach out and connect with me via DM or email. Some areas where I can help projects.
Intellectual Property
I can help your project develop and protect your IP better than anyone. The focus of my research at Stanford was software patents and I’ve written extensively on blockchain IP specifically. I also have made several patent publications with the USPTO for technologies built on Algorand and Ethereum.
Regulatory Compliance
The most recent grant I won from the Algorand Foundation was for the development of a regulatory compliance database. This work built on development that has been ongoing for almost three years now. I am able to take a business focus toward cryptocurrency compliance, leveraging information theory to optimize cost-efficiency, minimize risk, and help with exchange listing success.
Exchange Listings
I can help projects prepare for exchange listings by helping with three key areas: regulatory compliance, intellectual property, and corporate structuring. I have keen knowledge to be able to help projects excel in this arena, being a leading expert on digital asset and blockchain compliance in academia.
Software Development
I have developed full stack software on Algorand and am proficient in several software languages including: Python, Teal, PyTeal, Javascript, and CSS. I am also proficient in the React Framework.
DAO Governance
I have significant experience in DAO and Decentralized Governance. In the year 2021, my project Algorand Autonomous was the top prize winner at the 2021 MIT Bitcoin Hackathon, where our team developed DAO infrastructure for Algorand. I have also managed and developed on several Algorand grants focused specifically on DAO governance, and built applications to help Algorand projects with decentralized governance solutions.
Corporate Affairs
I can help projects looking to formalize or incorporate their businesses. I can do this with an emphasis on setting up the business for the long term or with an exit, merger, or acquisition in mind. I can also help to create value within the business, operate governance systems, and develop with business with a growth mindset.
