With over 20 years in the tech industry, Jack has made significant strides, beginning as the third employee at eGroups, which later became Yahoo! Groups. He served as the Creative Director of Tickle until its acquisition by Monster and founded a software company catering to heavyweights like Facebook and Pepsi. He then helmed 50Cubes, a gaming studio, growing its user base to 35 million monthly active users in less than a year, with early innovations in user pattern recognition and anomaly detection. This experience in virtual technology laid the groundwork for his leadership at Nightingale Security, where he’s pioneering in physical security automation through autonomous drone technology.

John received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University in 2004. His doctoral dissertation work includes novel numerical algorithm development for solving complex unsteady transonic flows and coupled aerodynamics. Upon completion of his Ph.D., John worked at SpaceX on Falcon’s navigation system, developed aerodynamics and structural coupled loads analysis simulations, performed orbital trajectory optimization analysis.

John’s current research interests include solving accurate physics simulation of constrained rigid body dynamics at near real-time, realistic robotic perception simulation. Recently, he has been working on development of integrated robotic simulation platform suited for robotic applications such as robotic navigation, planning, manipulation and perception. John helped bootstrap ROS as a startup and he was the main author of some of the fundamental components for the ROS ecosystem (robot model description, path planning, controls). John made the Gazebo simulator popular by making it useable. It’s now widely adopted and used for many robotics competitions (DRC), industries (rethink, yuneec, etc.), teaching college courses (GWU, Stanford, u-penn, etc.).

At Willow Garage, John was responsible for defining the vision for the autonomous car project. While at SpaceX, John worked in a small 4 person team and he wrote the high fidelity dynamics simulator for predicting flight feasibility and safety. He also did trajectory generation and safety (casualty) analysis.

Alan Braverman is a software developer currently working as CTO at Braverware. He also serves on the boards of directors of Nightingale and Textline.

From 2016 through 2022, Alan was CEO and co-founder of Textline, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) text messaging platform for businesses.

Prior to Textline, Alan was a technical co-founder of several internet software companies, including genealogy social network Geni (acquired by MyHeritage) and its spin-off enterprise social network, Yammer (acquired by Microsoft). Earlier, he co-founded Mollyguard Corporation, a payment-themed software studio that spun-off both Xoom money transfer services (Nasdaq IPO 2013, acquired by PayPal in 2015) and Eventbrite (NYSE IPO 2018). Earlier in his career, Alan programmed web software at Silicon Graphics, eGroups, and Yahoo. Alan earned a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois. As a college student, he also programmed features for Mosaic, one of the first web browsers that kicked off the internet era.
