Who We Are

Reza Barissi

Founder and CEO

I founded TRYTN to bring ease of use and efficiency to world travelers and vendors who share my passion for great excursions. TRYTN is a user-friendly booking platform and reservation management system that enables tour operators to streamline their businesses online. Enhanced further with access to our subsidized web development services, our business partners stay ahead of the competition and have more time to focus on creating memorable experience for their customers.

A graduate of the University of the Virgin Islands, I spent my early adult life in the Caribbean where I worked primarily in the maritime industry. An experienced boater and dive instructor who has worked in a variety of tour operator roles, I also have an unofficial degree in the world of tourism and activities.

Online booking, reliable reservation management and maintaining an optimized web presence have long been pain points for excursion providers. In today’s connected world, these pain points have only become more important over time. As a result, I was determined to develop the necessary technology and tools for tour operators to stay ahead in the increasingly competitive activities space. To turn my determination into reality, it was essential to assemble a team of experienced professionals who viewed persistent problems from an operator-first perspective. Working alongside this extraordinarily talented group of engineers, and with continual strategic advisement from industry professionals, TRYTN was able to finally provide true solutions to the long-known problems in the tours and activities space.

Brandon Parker

CTO

The fascination of the Internet—the capabilities it holds, the freedom to share information across the globe in an instant, the openness for anyone to use, and the challenge of how to make it all work—that’s what motives Brandon as a lead developer, analyst, and digital strategist.

Brandon’s foray into web development can be traced back to when he was 8 years old and received his first computer. By middle school he was building a website for his dad’s regional cycling club, and by high school he’d earned the role of webmaster for the school’s site. He went on to earn a degree in web development and to devote 10 years building ecommerce solutions for B2B and B2C enterprises. He has implemented custom booking engine solutions for a leading hospitality company and has developed ecommerce solutions for a FORTUNE 200 leader in technology services.

As lead developer and analyst for TRYTN, Brandon manages front-end development, analytics and reporting, multivariate testing, user research, competitive analysis, social media marketing, and search engine marketing (SEM). He also contributes to quality assurance and sales efforts, and is certified in Google Analytics and Google AdWords. Brandon excels in collecting all perspectives and determining a solution that achieves marketing and customer-experience goals.

Brandon’s passion for solving and building extends outside of computers; he loves to woodwork (he even handbuilt wall hammocks for his two cats, Vesta and Benjamin). He lives in Denver, Colorado, where he enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, biking, and skiing. He’s also mildly obsessed with KU basketball and all-things-NASA (in fact, he was even chosen for the Deep Space Network Social in 2014).
