Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRob Wise is a seasoned software leader and founder with 11 years of experience building full-stack web platforms and AI/NLP systems for institutional clients. As Co-Founder and CTO at Aumni and now at DEALSAGE, he has led engineering, product, and data efforts to ship deal-document ingestion, ML/NLP extraction of venture terms, and analytics used by hundreds of LPs, GPs, and enterprise customers. He bridges hands-on development (React, Rails, webpack) with product strategy, having maintained open-source tooling like prettier-atom and contributed to high-impact projects such as react_on_rails to improve developer experience and server-side rendering. His background spans startups, boutique consulting, and enterprise integration at J.P. Morgan, where he ran the Aumni platform post-acquisition. Based in Salt Lake City, he combines a practitioner’s attention to maintainability with founder-level rigor for compliance-sensitive financial workflows. An economist by training with an MS in Information Systems, he’s equally comfortable refactoring legacy stacks as he is designing ML-driven pipelines for complex, real-world documents.
