QuomeBuilding with purpose. Securing with heart.
At Quome (QUANTUM-OF-ME), we’re reimagining how secure, compliant apps are built—so developers can move fast without compromising on trust, safety, or scalability.
Our story is one of deep technical collaboration, personal loss, and a shared belief that technology can—and should—do more to protect and empower people.
What started as a series of connections between engineers, scientists, and builders became something much more: a mission to improve how healthcare and high-impact applications are created and scaled, with security and compliance woven in from day one.
Just as Microsoft Word revolutionized personal computing by making word processing accessible to anyone with a PC, AI-driven development platforms are now doing the same for app creation. In this new era, LLMs are becoming the "operating systems" for the next generation of creators—Citizen Developers.
A Citizen Developer is anyone—whether a marketer, UX expert, software engineer, small business owner, or solopreneur—who can leverage these new LLM operating systems to build software applications without needing to know how to code. With the power of LLMs, these users can now create apps, automate workflows, and build integrations with the ease of sending a text message or writing a prompt.
A Quome Developer is a citizen developer who has been certified to follow DevOps best practices to write secure and maintainable code. This is often within a small team consisting of a UX designer, citizen developer, and two software engineers within a 30 to 90 day timeline to build secure apps. We've pioneered best practices for citizen developers to make reusable, maintainable code to pass security audits and abide by organizational security policies.
For decades, the frameworks and tools that define software development have been designed by and for traditional developers—engineers fluent in code, building systems for technical users. In this ecosystem, non-technical users have largely been excluded, left without a "vote" in shaping the platforms and applications they rely on every day. They’ve been relegated to passive consumers of software, with little to no agency to create or adapt tools for their needs.
With Quome, we’ve built the equivalent of a ballot box for software development, where certified non-technical users can finally cast their vote. Our prompt-to-app interface isn’t just another tool; it’s a paradigm shift. It transforms app creation into an intuitive, conversational process, empowering anyone to participate in the development of digital solutions, regardless of their technical background. As a result, we increase application development throughput and velocity and decrease time to revenue for regulated startups and enterprises.
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), product leader Alaap Murali (CPO), 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.
