With an illustrious career spanning over four decades, our founder and Chief Technology Officer, Sean Stephens, possesses an unwavering passion for enhancing consumer lives through technology. His journey is studded with remarkable achievements, showcasing his remarkable vision and commitment to innovation.

In 1998, as the CTO of a pioneering company, Mr. Stephens played a pivotal role in the creation of revolutionary technology that allowed faxing over the internet. The resulting breakthrough caught the attention of industry leaders, leading to the acquisition of the company and its intellectual property by jFAX, one of the earliest internet-based faxing companies.

In 2006, long before Netflix introduced streaming movies to the world, Sean foresaw the future of a transformative viewer experience. His vision encompassed diverse content and seamless social interaction within a connected interface, which needed to be both infinitely scalable and unrestricted. Amidst skepticism from those who believed such a concept would "break the internet," Sean's unyielding passion for technology and his profound understanding of its capabilities led to the birth of zBandit's unique modular and web-based architectural design. This visionary platform was crafted from the ground up to accommodate limitless scalability, with modular and expandable functionality.

The founder's vision for zBandit continues to evolve, keeping pace with the ever-changing landscape of technology as new innovations are seamlessly integrated into the platform.

Fast forward to 2020, Sean recognized the mounting issues surrounding data privacy and freedom of expression on platforms like Google, Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, and others. This realization sparked an idea, leading to the development of a comprehensive technological ecosystem and the granting of patent #11562060 on January 24, 2023. This ecosystem, known as PRYVAz, offers a groundbreaking solution for individuals and entities to safeguard their privacy while still enjoying the convenience and functionality of technology. It ensures that their data remains secure, impervious to the prying eyes of big tech, social media, hackers, or government surveillance.

Sean Stephens' exceptional career is a testament to his pioneering spirit and unwavering dedication to crafting technological solutions that empower individuals and redefine the landscape of digital innovation.
