Quick Bio:
I’m one of the engineers on the Product Engineering team.
I grew up in 7 states—mainly Virginia, Arkansas, and Mississippi. I went to the University of Arkansas to study finance, but left sophomore year when I founded a startup to build case management software for universities and K-12 schools. I later joined a startup training machine learning models for wildfire detection and spread prediction using satellite images for governments, utilities, and insurance. Before joining Rogo, I co-founded a startup where we built a platform to fine-tune and inference open-source LLMs used by 10k developers and an AI chat application with 3M users.
Q: What excites you the most about working at Rogo?
The team has a unique blend of deep domain expertise in finance and exceptional engineering and design talent. There’s a real sense of collaboration and ownership across the entire team in building an amazing product and deploying it to the largest financial firms.
Rogo is one of the few companies I’ve seen at the AI application layer that is truly pushing the frontier of what’s possible. The types of projects you can work on are extremely challenging, fun, and rewarding.
Q: What has surprised you the most about working at Rogo?
The culture and team are incredible. It’s refreshing to work with a team that is both incredibly talented and low ego. I often catch myself working late, not from strict deadlines or pressure, but because tackling this huge opportunity with such a sharp, collaborative team is genuinely fun.
Q: What’s your favorite part of the Rogo platform?
I think Tables is a powerful feature. The ability to run multiple queries at once across many companies, people, filings, and other entities, then save them as reusable templates, removes a lot of manual work from everyday financial workflows.
Q: Tell us about what you like to do outside of work.
I love to travel. Last year I went to Japan, Brazil, Greece, Spain, and England. I try to visit at least one new country per year. I also like to play basketball, soccer, golf, and padel, train Jiu Jitsu, workout, and read (mostly history).
