Top SchoolCarl Sverre is a Vancouver-based founder and software engineer with 16 years of experience building databases, analytics, and interactive visualizations, currently leading SQLSync. He spent a decade at SingleStore/MemSQL in senior director and architect roles designing managed database services and strategic, stealth projects. Earlier he worked on Mixpanel’s front-end analytics and contributed to the widely used mixpanel-node open-source client, highlighting his full-stack range from JS UIs to backend systems. SQLSync is an offline-first wrapper around SQLite that synchronizes web app state across users, devices, and the edge — a deliberate pivot from large-scale DB infrastructure to edge-native sync primitives. Known for solving hard problems from first principles, he pairs hands-on engineering with product and strategic experience, including time as an Entrepreneur in Residence at Amplify Partners.
