Kevin Moore is a CEO and seasoned technologist with 11 years of leadership experience and a deep engineering background spanning hardware and software. He founded and leads Quilt Data, bringing hands-on expertise in back-end systems, DevOps, and secure data access—contributing directly to the open-source Quilt project’s deployment, access-control, and CI tooling. Prior roles at Oracle and Sun Microsystems reflect a foundation in hardware engineering, while a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison underscores his research-driven approach to problem solving. Based in Kihei, Hawaii, he blends island life with global product-building and mentorship, including a stint advising impact-driven startups at Unreasonable at Sea. Known for moving between low-level systems and cloud-native deployment, he’s equally comfortable shaping company strategy as he is iterating on API and database schema design.
