Brenden Warn
Gig economy expert, former delivery driver, and the founder of ShiftTracker — the earnings and mileage tracker built from thousands of real shifts.
Brenden spent over five years working across Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, and Lime. During that time he completed more than 35,000 tasks, logged tens of thousands of miles, and learned firsthand how difficult it is to understand your true earnings as an independent contractor.
That frustration led him to build ShiftTracker — a purpose-built analytics platform that gives gig workers the same financial clarity that traditional employees take for granted. Every feature in the app was born from a real problem Brenden encountered while driving.
Today, Brenden writes in-depth guides on gig economy strategy, tax deductions for drivers, and multi-platform optimization. His articles have been read by over 10,000 independent workers looking to earn more while working smarter.
