Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJowanza Joseph is a founder and CEO with 11 years of engineering leadership, currently building Parakeet — a compliance automation and risk management platform for industrial companies — from the Salt Lake City area. He pairs hands-on distributed-systems and data expertise (Apache Spark, AWS Kinesis/S3, microservices, Node.js) with senior leadership experience as VP of Software Engineering at Finicity and Head of Engineering at streamOS. His background in data science and analytics (time-series forecasting, NLP, R/Python) plus formal training in economics, mathematics, statistics and computer science gives him a rare quantitative lens for turning regulatory complexity into auditable workflows and measurable risk metrics. Notably, he has shipped production streaming ETL and data platforms and even built an internal service-discovery system akin to Consul, demonstrating comfort across both low-level infrastructure and product-facing compliance features.
