Echemendia took his talents to Hollywood, CA, and has worked with award-winning director Oliver Stone as a technical supervisor on films such as “Savages” and “Snowden,” as well as other projects, such as the film “Nerve” and the award-winning TV series Mr. Robot.
He has also joined forces with some of the music industry and Hollywood’s most influential names and is working on cutting-edge technology for consumer cyber security.
