A polyglot and technology translator, she brings a level of analytical prowess and  ingenuity to every project.

Jackie is a superwoman, but not the DC comics version. She's the empowering and raising-others-as-she-rises kind. She's a phenomenal woman and BOSS (and she didn't have to pay us to say that). She is most likely in a meeting, driving her children around, or doing both effortlessly. She may work past midnight - and make some nerdy jokes - but we've watched her unite unlikely teams together in the Data Pandemos Project and through generosity and kindness open minds and hearts. She reminds us, ' you can't have great reason without great love.'

His creativity, collaborative ethos, and technical skill to cut through hard technical  problems like a hot knife through butter.

If we didn't know Tom, we might not believe he is real. The mythical creature that recruiters seek but can never find, he is a full-stack developer that excels in everything from prototyping to production, data science to instruction and has masterful spatial and people skills. He rock climbs, has a green thumb, writes thoughtful notes to colleagues and even gifts us homemade yogurt. With his knack for stealthy over delivery, Tom brings Whitespace’s most ambitious projects to life. Efforts to clone him are ongoing...

A master juggler: ABI expert, instructor, program manager, Worldline Guru, and the person you go to for a great pie crust recipe.

Patrick "Be me" Kenney is kind of a big deal. This trend-setter started Flannel Fridays, and he has been known to feed, burp, and then soothe an infant to sleep while typing an email or leading the conversation in a meeting. His judicious and masterful use of the Knife Hand is second only to his eloquence when telling it like it is. Pat is the mastermind behind our Worldline scenarios, and has either developed or taught every single course in The Academy. Cross trained in analysis and the beep-boops, he is a man of many talents.

Among her superpowers - yes, she has more than one - are vaporizing operational tasks and leading with passion, compassion, and creativity.

Even when Jess is on mute, she is guaranteed to be saying something creative, insightful, or supportive. Her innate ability to keep a cool head in any situation and control the chaos would give even Mr. Wolf a run for his money. You might not know she's from Jersey until she tells you that she "knows a guy," or until you see how effective she is at making tasks "go away." A champion for inclusivity, and the custodian of Whitespace's culture, Jess inspires us all to reach new heights by compassionately and consistently living her mantra: "Find A Way or Make One."

Don't let his easy-going nature fool you - his analytic expertise and instructional experience make him a killer asset in the classroom.

Zach is full of surprises. An ABI enthusiast who plays - and MAKES - guitars, he is also a proud dad and philosophile. What social capital he might have lost by wearing a suit to his first Team Sync, he quickly recovered with his dry humor and quick wit. A team player from Day 1, Zach doesn't hesitate to bring his skills (graphic design, really?!) or experience to the table and help move the team forward.

The heart that beats behind our HR operations, Mel’s superpowers are empathy, mediation, and service.

Melissa lights up any room with her infectious smile and compassionate heart. Her love of family, community, and organization creates a safe environment for growth. Applying for a job with us? She's likely the first person you will meet (pro tip: if you want to sweeten your chances for an interview, send her a Chick-Fil-A lemonade!). We're beginning to suspect that Jess is staging a Jersey takeover of Ops, but we're here for it, because Melissa's experience is a great asset to the team.

Forrest is a world-class mathematician, statistician, and scientist dedicated to solving the world’s most important and challenging inferential problems.

In addition to being a tenured professor at Yale, he's also a parent, and works for us part-time. Forrest is the definition of hustle, aspiring to "do interesting things most of the time, and to do what’s important all the time." He is really easy going, and an awesome team player, but word of advice: don't schedule through his lunch. Keep an eye out for his forthcoming three-part autobiographical series, "Cloudy With a Chance of Statistics," "Lord of the Fries," and "The Devil Wears Carhartt." Release date: twenty twenty-never.

Drew locks onto complex problems with precision and patience, blending full-stack mastery with a knack for creative solutions.

If Drew were a video game character, his special move would be ‘Lock-On’—and trust us, he never misses. A full-stack engineer with a past life as a game studio founder, Drew thrives on building everything from immersive experiences to geospatial pipelines. He’s the rare mix of technical depth and adventurous spirit: rock climber, mountain biker, and future world sailor.

Arin’s deep expertise in spatial data science and applied problem-solving makes even the messiest data feel like a walk in the (well-mapped) park.

If spatial analysis were a martial art, Arin would be a black belt. Known for unleashing the Vectorization Vortex™ on unsuspecting loops and apply statements, Arin turns tangled data into elegant insights with style. A geo-nerd by happy accident, he found his calling after 40 and hasn’t looked back—except maybe to locate a missing library book or dodge a rogue bird mid-run. Whether snowboarding, rollerblading, or dominating the sheep trade in Catan, Arin brings humor, heart, and a wizard’s touch to every challenge. Just don’t mention shapefiles.

Shelby turns data chaos into clean pipelines, fueled by tenacity—and just enough espresso.

If data science were a boss fight, Shelby’s ultimate move would be the Coffee-Powered Combo: three shots of espresso, one flawless pipeline. A Lead Data Scientist with a decade of experience in geospatial analytics and machine learning, she thrives on solving complex puzzles under pressure. Shelby’s superpower? Patience paired with relentless determination—she’ll try every angle until the problem taps out. Outside work, she’s hiking, gardening, and museum-hopping with her husband and daughter, while plotting a side hustle selling starter plants at farmer’s markets. Fun fact: she once skipped an oil change for nine months and called it ‘strategic.’ Known as Shlebs to her brothers, Shelby brings precision, creativity, and a dash of caffeine-fueled magic to every mission.

Samantha turns chaos into clarity, armed with a backlog and a Confluence page for every occasion.

If Product management were a video game, Samantha’s power-up would be documentation—because if it’s not written down now, it will be. Known for transforming chaos into plans (or just vibing with it), she thrives on the diversity of her day: financials, UX, tech stack, and everything in between. A technically allied, customer-focused Product Manager, Samantha brings curiosity and precision to every challenge. Outside work, she’s a reader, gamer, and costume maker with a silly streak affectionately dubbed ‘goblin mode.’ She dreams of owning an at-home sauna and insists a hot dog is, in fact, a sandwich. Her signature move? ‘I’ve got a Confluence page for that.’

Ahsan blends design finesse with technical firepower, building front-end experiences that feel like magic—sometimes with a 360 no-scope.

If front-end engineering were an e-sports arena, Ahsan would dominate with his signature move: the 360 no-scope. A Senior Front-End Engineer with a decade of experience, he crafts pixel-perfect interfaces and design systems that scale. From modernizing legacy architectures to building internal LLM tools at Microsoft, Ahsan thrives on creating impactful products seen by thousands (and soon, millions). When he’s not coding, you’ll find him at the gym, on the basketball court, or experimenting in the kitchen—though he once swapped baking powder for baking soda in pancakes, proving even pros have patch notes. Easy-going and endlessly curious, Ahsan brings precision, creativity, and just enough luck to every project.

Brian blends decades of software expertise with cutting-edge AI, turning complex problems into elegant solutions—often with an Infinity Stare.
