About Metafor Software
Metafor Software automates anomaly detection so that it only takes minutes for data center operators to identify inconsistencies that create errors and downtime. We are dedicated to hunting down anomalies in computing infrastructures where change is constant and continuous, to prevent downtime, improve performance, and reduce risk. Our unique anomaly detection engine is based on advanced algorithms that apply machine learning to high-speed anomaly detection, with the goal of providing system analytics that alert DevOps staff to anomalies before they turn into problems.
Our Crew
Jenny Yang. CEO, Founder

The team made Jenny the CEO so she can do all the things they don’t want to do. Luckily, Jenny has an irrational desire to take on challenges, like learning to code in machine language or trading in a comfortable VC life to experience the startup grind. Before she started on the Metafor quest, she had many wonderful adventures at BDC Venture Capital, BCG, Bain, Nortel, and Telus.
Super power: Able to fool herself into thinking she can do it all.
Dr. Toufic Boubez. CTO, Founder

By day Toufic is our congenial CTO but by night he secretly plots to take over the world, with neural algorithms. Toufic has made multiple attempts at world domination. First as SOA Chief Architect at IBM where he helped to define SOA and Web Services, then as CTO of Saffron Technology and most recently as co-founder/CTO of Layer 7 Technologies, which was acquired by CA Technologies.
Super power: Sees the future, then makes the future.
Alex Cruise. Dir Architecture
Alex thinks deep thoughts about how to create elegant and future proof architectures. His brilliance can be found deep in the heart of products from companies like Subserveo and Layer 7. Alex is also a Scala master who spends countless hours training young padwans in the ways of the Scala.
Super power: 42
Shang Cai. Software Engineer
Shang can code anything, even with his eyes closed. In fact, he may be the world’s first sleep coder. He eats copious amounts of vegetables so that he can code even faster with his eyes closed.
Super power: Isn’t it obvious?
Sergey Slepian. Software Engineer
Sergey is our front-end virtuoso who weaves Javascript day and night to ensure our users can interact with Alex’s elegant architecture with Zen tranquillity.
Super power: Able to absorb millions of cosmic APIs in a single sprint.
Byron Shelden. Software Engineer
Byron can conjure Scala magic to fulfil any feature requirement. He also builds high performing secure platforms that can scale to gazillion nodes. He’s even built one using Minecraft blocks.
Super power: Can survive for months on coffee and beer.
