Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnthony Garvan is a Staff Software Engineer and serial founder with 11+ years of production engineering experience and a 16+-year history of building products, teams, and research-driven tools across startups, government, and enterprise. He founded VC-backed SheetRocks, led engineering for healthcare.gov at Ad Hoc, and ran data initiatives at 18F, blending product vision with hands-on delivery from backend systems to data science. Equally comfortable shipping new SaaS products and responding to high-pressure incidents as a code mercenary at DataTonyx, he’s shipped end-to-end platforms, built predictive ML models, and contributed backend parsing and QA improvements to popular open-source tooling like textract. With an MS in Electrical Engineering, two patents, published atomic physics research, and a knack for turning messy data into scalable systems, he pairs scientific rigor with pragmatic product instincts. Based in Oak Park, IL, he’s currently building a prompt-to-video storytelling platform while continuing to evolve the next-generation programmable spreadsheet.
