\&#xNAN;*Anthony is a tech head through and through. Starting with building his own computers before age 10 with the help of his father to designing 2d platformer games for high school IT projects, Anthony was destined to be thrust into the forefront of computing technology. Designing point-of-sale systems and streamlining data throughput are Anthony’s fortes, but his understanding of technical requirements and gaps in the market will also be the driving forces pushing Avorak to the top of the AI industry.*

\&#xNAN;*Always being the only female in her group of IT peers, Amanda is used to working in a tough environment and being judged more closely on her work. This drive to show ‘the guys’ that women have just as much a place in software development has always resulted in top-quality work that earned her workplaces with world leaders in AI development. Demand for Amanda's expertise meant she could consult for several companies at a time in a self-employed format, assisting the automotive and humanoid robot industries.*

\&#xNAN;*Specializing in digital marketing and online-only business, Ree (or "Ray" to his American friends) is unrivaled when it comes to understanding how and where a tech company needs to market its products. Helping to generate significant revenue from B2B sales drew him to some of the biggest companies going, but his love for the future of technology drew him to cryptocurrency. Wanting the world to understand the power that blockchain puts into users' hands, Ree took up a number of roles creating marketing strategies for cryptocurrency projects and has thrived in the industry in only a short while.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://avorak-labs-and-technology.gitbook.io/avorak-a.i-technical-whitepaper/founders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
