Wesley George is a technical founder and operating leader with 11 years of hands-on software engineering and product experience, currently serving as COO of Featherless AI and founder of Proofgov. He has led engineering and field teams at startups and scale-ups—driving architecture, security, and revenue-critical systems at Clearbanc, Nymi, and Daylight (acquired by Quadient). Wesley blends deep cryptography and systems background (Master’s in CS with crypto, PhD ABD work at University of Toronto) with practical product delivery, having built and scaled data-intensive platforms for finance, identity, and public-sector workflows. Known for instituting engineering rigor—source control, peer review, automated testing—and tackling both low-level embedded security and cloud-native inference economics, he turns research-grade ideas into reliable, auditable services. Based in Old Toronto, he pairs academic depth with entrepreneurial grit and a track record of shipping mission-critical systems at scale.
