Vibe coding is creating 100x more engineers — but not 100x more security experts. We're building the compliant cloud platform so every team can ship fast without compromising on safety.
Compliance-first cloud for the age of vibe coding
AI and vibe coding are creating a 100x explosion in the number of people who can build software — but the number of security and compliance experts isn't growing at all. The result: more apps, more data, more risk, and regulated industries left choosing between innovation and compliance. Quome exists so they don't have to choose.
Quome was born from a personal mission and a professional conviction.
Jim Schwoebel, our CEO, spent years building cloud infrastructure at Verily (Alphabet's health tech company) and DigitalOcean, where he launched managed Kafka and scaled distributed systems. He saw firsthand how regulated industries — healthcare, fintech, government — struggled to adopt modern cloud platforms because none of them treated compliance as a first-class feature. Companies were forced to choose: move fast on commodity cloud, or spend 6-12 months and $500K+ standing up compliant infrastructure before writing a single line of product code.
But for Jim, this isn't just a market opportunity. It's personal.
After the tragic loss of his brother Tim to suicide, Jim became determined to make healthcare technology better, faster, and safer. The mental health system that failed his family runs on outdated, non-compliant software — and the people trying to fix it are blocked by the same infrastructure gap Quome was built to close. That grief, that love, and that urgency still drive every decision we make.
Now, with the rise of vibe coding, the problem is accelerating. AI tools are enabling 100x more people to build software — but they're not creating 100x more security engineers. The compliance gap is widening, and regulated industries are more exposed than ever.
Jim assembled a team built for exactly this problem: Ben Halpert (CISO), who led information security at McKesson, Lockheed Martin, and Groupon; Collin Overbay (Chief Agent Officer), a staff engineer from Indeed who built AI search infrastructure at scale; Scott Grissom (CFO), who ran finance for Ferrari North America and LegalShield; and Terry Lee (CRO), who drove 10x-25x ARR growth across three acquired startups. The engineering team includes three PhDs — Jenia Rousseva, PhD (mathematics), Ingrida Semenec, PhD (experimental astroparticle physics), and Marcos Ortiz, PhD (low-dimensional topology) — who bring scientific rigor to our multi-agent AI frameworks and automated app development. Backed by 15+ advisors across healthcare, fintech, and regulated industries, including physician-scientist Jessica Tsai (MD/PhD).
Together, we're building the platform that closes the compliance gap — HIPAA-ready, SOC 2 compliant cloud infrastructure that deploys into your own AWS, GCP, or Azure account. So every team can ship fast, stay audit-ready, and keep data where it belongs. Especially in industries where lives 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.
