From a personal mission to a platform that empowers developers to build secure, compliant applications in healthcare, finance, and life sciences.
How a personal mission became a platform for secure, life-changing technology
The spark behind Quome began with a collaboration between Jim Schwoebel, now our CEO, and Ryan Moore, our CTO, during their time together at DigitalOcean. As engineering leaders launching managed Kafka and scaling distributed systems, they shared a conviction that the future of cloud infrastructure had to evolve—especially in how it handled security, compliance, and developer experience.
But for Jim, this journey is also deeply personal.
After the tragic loss of his brother by suicide, Jim became determined to work on solutions that could help make mental health and healthcare technology better, faster, and safer. That mission—infused with love, grief, and determination—still drives everything we build at Quome.
As Jim connected with others in his network—from staff software engineer Collin Overbay (CSO) to security expert Ben Halpert (CISO), physician-scientist Jessica Tsai (advisor), and quantum genomics researcher Jenia Rousseva, PhD—the vision for Quome came into focus: a secure, scalable platform that empowers developers to rapidly build and deploy compliant apps, particularly in sensitive domains like healthcare, life sciences, and finance.
The team brings decades of combined experience across quantum computing, AI, cybersecurity, distributed systems, and product strategy. We've come together not just to build cutting-edge tools, but to create a platform that matters—one that understands the weight of real-world impact, especially in industries where lives and livelihoods are on the line.
The principles that guide every decision we make and every line of code we write
We believe technology should do more than scale—it should serve. Everything we build is grounded in meaningful impact, especially in healthcare and areas where lives are affected.
Speed matters, but so does care. We balance rapid innovation with deep responsibility—especially in spaces where mistakes have real-world consequences.
We don't treat security and compliance as checkboxes. They're foundational pillars of trust, and we bake them into every layer of our platform, people, and processes.
The loss of Jim's brother drives our deeper mission: to build tools that might one day save lives. We honor this loss not just in words, but in the work we do every day.
From quantum physics to cloud engineering, we value interdisciplinary thinking. We bring together brilliant minds from diverse domains to solve complex problems from fresh angles.
We exist to lift up developers, researchers, and creators. Our platform is a launchpad—making it easier for others to build the next wave of compliant, secure, and impactful applications.
