Brandon Schick
Founder & Lead Developer
Web Technology
Done Right.
I'm Brandon Schick — founder of The Inventor's Velocity (TIV360), a web technology and digital marketing company I've been building since 2008. What started as experimenting with WordPress blogs evolved into a full-time career helping businesses build websites that actually perform.
Over 17+ years I've worked on everything from enterprise-level intranet systems and national WooCommerce stores to local service businesses, medical clinics, specialty brands, and a network of 50+ active web properties I design, build, and manage across California and Minnesota.
My approach is simple: clear communication, common-sense strategy, and websites built to get real results — not just to look good in a screenshot.
