This evening I had the pleasure of interviewing Gabe Humphreys, Director of Technology & Operations, GreenLine Business Group which includes Danio Connect, Danio Diary and EYE NEED A WITNESS.
Starting in the mid-1990’s as a web developer, Gabe has spent his entire professional life promoting and developing internet technologies. He was employee #742 at Amazon.com in 1998, working with them to refine the click-to-ship lifecycle, just-in-time inventory practices, and anti-fraud intelligence algorithms.
He left Amazon.com in 2002 to attend college at the University of Delaware, then went on to working at JP Morgan Chase, developing data center management policies, managing the 99.9% up-time promise for Chase.com, and supporting the 24/7 Broker-Dealer trading network environment. Since joining Green Line Gabe has worked to develop their mobile application presence in health and safety apps, across all segments of society.
EYE NEED A WITNESS APP
This app turns your phone into a personal safety device. At the push of a button, Eye Need A Witness alerts other nearby users within your community in seconds.
Potential witnesses receive the alert when a nearby caller requests a witness or sends a danger alert at a time when they may feel unsafe.
Both the caller and the witness locations appear on the map, along with any text, photo, audio, or video details that may have been sent with the alert.
When you feel unsafe, call on your community to WITNESS, RECORD & REPORT
Other Eye Need a Witness users can only see the personal information you include in your user profile. Callers’ information will be shown to responding witnesses, and will only be displayed for the duration of the alert. Witnesses’ information will be displayed to a caller once they have agreed to be a witness and will be visible to the caller on an ongoing basis. Witnesses can see other witnesses’ icons on the map, but are not able to see their personal profile information.
Your information will also be visible to any users you have specifically invited to follow you through the app. We encourage users to add a picture of themselves as well as a first name so that they can be recognized when alerting others and/or responding to alerts.
