Inspiring Conversations with Brendan Michaelsen of Our Wave

In 2019, Our Wave launched our first online platform for survivors to share stories, receive customized support, and join a community of understanding. While collecting stories and tagged data, we hope to highlight the prevalence of sexual assault and determine patterns for future prevention. As CTO, I develop and manage our platform, security infrastructure, and data initiatives, and work to ensure our technology is as welcoming as possible for our users.
