Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEvan Powell is a seasoned founder and CEO with 11 years of leadership in cloud-native, storage, automation, and security technologies, currently leading DeepTempo to apply deep learning for collective defense against attacks like Sybil manipulation. He has repeatedly created new categories—helping launch OpenEBS and Litmus at MayaData and pioneering event-driven automation with StackStorm—and has taken startups from seed to acquisition and scale. Based in California, he blends hands-on technical work (including recent research-driven detection of attacks on open source funding) with strategic product and community building across DAOs and open-data initiatives. An active open-source steward, he helped found projects spanning DeepSecOSS, OpenEBS, StackStorm, LitmusChaos, DOKC and OpenDataforWeb3, showing a pattern of turning developer needs into enduring ecosystems. He augments his entrepreneurial experience with postgraduate AI and deep learning study at Stanford, bringing both domain expertise and applied ML rigor to security problems. Known for pragmatic contrarianism—“curmudgeon as a service”—he often drives healthier debate in communities while shipping production-ready systems.
