BRIAN ENGELMANN

Concept Designer / CEO of AquaVue INC.

Meet the man who brought AquaVue to life. Brian grew up in Eastern Long island in New York, a Hotspot for the boating community. At age 22, he started BlackHawk Technologies Corp, a residential / commercial security company offering basic security camera systems. By its 5th year, BlackHawk had grown to dealing in various aspects of low voltage projects including Electronic Gate systems, Keycard Door access, Commercial Guest Wifi Systems, building Large Scale networks, Smarthome Conversions, Home Theaters and more. In 20Theaters and more. In 2017, BlackHawk secured a job installing a high-profile HD Camera system on a Charter boat, to capture live action shots for the fisherman on the boat. Brian soon after developed the concept for AquaVue— an all-in-one Boat Security and Convenience assistant app. The vision was simple and familiar, having been in the camera industry already: People can watch their homes, cars and valuables from home, why not their boats ?

AquaVue began as a program, using existing camera software and cameras from Brians BlackHawk company, with special usernames and passwords for guests who had signed up. Since the payment process was manual, all credit cards had to be processed one by one, each month. Soon the workload became overwhelming and it became clear that it was time to automate. It was time for AquaVue to be developed into an app.

In 2018 Brian created multiple image mockups on photoshop of exactly how he wanted AquaVue to function and look. The app mockup PDF including all the info was sent out to numerous developers to bid on the project. He soon located and secured an application developer who would turn Brians vision into reality.

The app was completed in June 2020, and has an exponential growing number of app subscribers. Our team is working around the clock to improve, develop new features, and become the #1 Boater App in the world.
