Most recently, Anders created Phonebooth, a "PBX in the cloud" for Bandwidth.com aimed at the small to medium business market. The project, based on FreeSWITCH, went from idea phase to production in 9 months, and brought previously disparate pieces such as phone provisioning together under one roof. The user interface was simplified and a set of videos were included on the website to teach users how to navigate the system.
Previous to Phonebooth, Anders developed a nationwide VoIP network for Bandwidth.com based on openSIPS. The project included the buildout of a number of Linux based server farms distributed throughout the United States. The system offered enterprise level VoIP service to customers while maintaining a flexible routing core for Bandwidth.com.
Anders was an early stage employee of Bandwidth.com and instituted the technical direction that would grow the company from infancy. He played a key role in a number of enterprise level relationships helping Bandwidth.com emerge a major business telecom player.
Anders created a podcast called 12 Byzantine Rulers with his brother Lars Brownworth that chronicles the history of the Byzantine empire. The project won rave reviews and was profiled in the New York Times. It culminated in the book Lost to the West: The Forgotten Byzantine Empire That Rescued Western Civilization, published by Crown Publishing, launching Lars Brownworth as an author.
Anders is a federally licensed helicopter pilot and flies recreationally in the United States. He has ferried helicopters down the Pacific coast, assisted in crop warming operations in New York and even had the pleasure of flying a Bell 47 "M*A*S*H" helicopter. He thought he had died and gone to heaven when he landed a turbine at a heliport in Manhattan!
