When he founded Nefsis Corp. in 2005, Allen Drennan introduced a cloud-based, video conferencing online service, cited by Frost and Sullivan as the first of its kind. He achieved this by building engineering teams to create a mobile and desktop solution that successfully blended web and native code into a seamless online service.
Over his career, Allen has designed, built and deployed large-scale SaaS solutions for real-time video and collaboration, and created new technology for mobile video user interfaces, messaging, text, voice and video communications. Some of these solutions have been recognized in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant and featured in major industry publications over the years, such as eWeek, PC Magazine, USA Today, New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CyberDefense Magazine and more.
Most recently, he has worked on implementing standards-based AI models using OpenAI API into the real-time data interfaces for video and audio interactive collaboration.
A frequent contributor to open-source projects, Allen also writes about highly technical software engineering topics for iOS, Android, Linux, MacOS and Windows.
Allen went on to found Cordoniq, Inc., bringing together many of the senior engineers who created Nefsis (now OmniJoin) and new talented team members, to create the next generation of truly secure, AI-integrated real-time collaboration products.
