Biography: Jonathan Wagner, a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, spent more than a dozen years as a software developer before he and Jason von Nieda launched Big Bang's Internet of Things software in 2014 to make connected devices smoothly - and quickly - communicate. The cloud services platform helps developers create applications that communicate with IoT devices in real-time by connecting with their hardware and providing the software to enable its integration. The solution, which eliminates the need for servers or other infrastructure, is available for Android and iOS developers. A recent winner of the LauchKC grants competition during Techweek Kansas City, Big Bang is addressing a huge, growing market with its development kit. More than 8 billion existing "things" - phones, watches and cars - are connected. That number is expected to reach more than 50 billion connected devices within five years. That means way more gadgets and gizmos than just everyday devices. Many new industries are identifying use cases, which should help Wagner's firm. Wagner has been a principal employee in two previous technology companies with successful acquisitions. Prior to Big Bang, Wagner created backend technology for Massively Multiplayer Online Games, Virtual Worlds, and simulations. Technology partners included companies such as Disney, Mattel, Ubisoft, Viacom and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
