Top SchoolRick Copeland is a seasoned technology executive and entrepreneur with 16 years of experience building high-impact software products and teams, currently serving as Vice President of Technology in Marietta, GA. He has founded and led multiple startups—including Carefolio and Synapp.io—where he combined hands-on engineering (Python, MongoDB, cloud big-data algorithms) with product and go-to-market responsibilities. Rick’s background spans low-level systems and hardware (FPGA, Verilog, compiler work) through modern web platforms, reflecting a rare full-stack fluency that informs pragmatic architecture decisions. As a consultant and trainer he’s helped organizations adopt MongoDB and Python best practices, and earlier research and academic roles at Georgia Tech sharpened his ability to manage technical teams delivering novel compilers and tooling. He brings an operator’s mindset to executive leadership: translating complex technical constraints into usable products for caregivers, retailers, and enterprise clients.
