Sync Computing’s Disruptive Cloud Infrastructure Approach Draws Cloud Veterans
Summary
With over 10 years spearheading global engineering teams in fintech, healthcare, and social networking companies, Oda possesses vast experience in building large-scale, cloud computing cost and budgeting platforms. “Our early customer successes demonstrate that our Autotuner and Orchestrator products strike a big nerve in the market, solving what was previously an intractable problem - determining the optimum price-performance point for cloud computing jobs. With Doran and Oda at our helm, we will be able to accelerate our innovation and continue to build products to scale across multiple verticals.” Spun out of MIT Lincoln Laboratory by Jeff Chou and Suraj Bramhavar, Activate Fellows (Cohort 2020) supported by DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office, and MIT Startup Exchange Accelerator veterans, Sync Computing is harnessing the computational power of physics to find the mathematically best way to provision cloud infrastructure for data, machine learning, and scientific workloads. The Sync Autotuner has already been field-tested and its performance validated by a number of marquee customers, including Duolingo, the world’s #1 language learning platform, serving more than 40 million monthly active users. The Sync team has been steadily growing, counting over a dozen experienced engineers from IBM and Sun Microsystems, alongside globally respected academic institutions such as MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Harvard, and UCLA.
