Alex is a seasoned Founder/CEO and auth industry veteran. As VP of Product Management at Okta, Alex led their developer products, which represented 25% of total bookings, and managed their network of over 5,000 auth integrations. Later, as GM, he launched an auth-centric proxy server product that reached $9M in revenue within its first year. Previously, as co-founder and CEO of Stormpath (acquired by Okta), he built the first Authentication API for developers, creating a new product category. The platform attracted 2,000 new developer signups monthly with a 50% activation rate and 30% 30-day retention. Alex has a Georgia Tech CS degree and a Stanford MBA, with experience as a software engineer, enterprise sales rep, and product leader. He has a proven track record of turning innovative ideas into successful products.

Sam is a pioneering engineer in AI. As Principal AI Engineer at Redis, Sam helped architect over 100 LLM-based apps for customers, making him among the world's most experienced practitioners in real-world AI deployment. He led the AI engineering team that turned Redis's vector database into their hottest product, proving he can turn bleeding-edge AI into actual revenue. He's a major contributor to open-source AI projects like Langchain, LlamaIndex, Chapel, and DeterminedAI, giving him an even deeper insight into AI app challenges. His expertise spans from supercomputing - creating SmartSim at HPE to connect the world's fastest supercomputers with ML infrastructure - to being the lead author on research on AI for climate science. Sam has built AI products and high-performance distributed systems and dug deep into AI theory. He knows LLM apps inside out - their limits, potential, and what developers need to make them work.

Samira brings deep expertise in scaling enterprise AI and data businesses. At TellApart, she helped grow the company to Twitter's largest acquisition at the time. She then co-founded Yelp Knowledge, creating a new enterprise data revenue stream. At Google Maps Platform, she launched new verticals in logistics and retail, and led the strategic Geo+Cloud partnership. As Head of Strategy for Google Search's Knowledge Engine (2000+ engineers), she gained firsthand experience with Google's Bard/Gemini development. Her track record of turning complex technology into successful enterprise products, combined with her recent work at the forefront of generative AI, makes her invaluable for Arcade's growth strategy.

Nate has built AI products, is a recognized expert in authentication, led engineering teams, and wrote the book on software development (literally). As CTO of Cobbler, he built an AI agent stack from scratch, facing the very challenges Arcade now solves. His OAuth 2.0 training is the most watched in the world. At Okta and Stormpath, Nate built authentication APIs that developers enjoyed. With his AI experience, deep security know-how, and instinct for dev-friendly design, Nate knows exactly what developers need and what they'll like using.

Sterling is an expert in building advanced data and machine learning infrastructure. As a founding engineer at Triton/StreamSQL, he created the initial version of a feature store that later became Featureform. At Featureform, he wrote over 1.5 million lines of code in Golang, helping build an open-source product that makes it easier for data scientists to manage and serve their machine-learning models in production. Sterling's skills in Golang and large-scale data systems, combined with his ability to turn new ideas into real products, will make Arcade a high-performance, scalable product that large companies can trust in production.

Eric is a relentless engineer. At Microsoft, he optimized Azure Core's Hyperscale Networking, achieving a 60% reduction in compute and a 96% reduction in alert detection time. He built an AI agent that won the 2023 Microsoft Global Hackathon, beating hundreds of other teams. He taught himself to code at 17 while circumnavigating the world, and he complains that a few A-minuses in college kept him from a 4.0 GPA.  Eric thrives in the grind and delivers quality code, making him critical to building the high-performance, scalable integrations that customers will expect from Arcade.

Demetrios is a powerhouse in AI community building. As founder of the MLOps Community, he grew it into the world's largest ML and AI practitioner community with over 70,000 members globally. He's orchestrated active meetups in 30+ cities, launched successful in-person and virtual conferences drawing 2,000+ live viewers, and personally interviewed more than 300 AI leaders on the MLOps Community podcast. A sought-after speaker at major tech events like AI Summit, techEx, and Gitex, Demetrios has deep insight into what developers need and how to build vibrant technical communities. His proven ability to connect with developers and foster engagement is exactly what Arcade needs to build a thriving developer ecosystem.
