About Us
We built the data team we couldn't hire.
Using your data takes a whole team: someone to connect the sources, model the data, build the dashboards, and watch the quality. Companies with more data than people can't hire all of that. So the data piles up, and every question waits on one overloaded person.
OptimaFlo is that team. Manager takes your request and delegates to the rest: Ingestion Engineer, Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Analyst, BI Developer, Quality Engineer. The same roles you would hire, working in your own cloud. Databricks and Snowflake are built for companies that have a data platform team. OptimaFlo is for the ones that don't.
Proof: your data sits in open Apache standards
Our Mission
We exist so a team with more data than people can get answers without becoming a data infrastructure company.
Our Team
Meet the Founders
A small team with deep experience in data engineering, operations, and building products that actually ship.
Founder's Story
Why This Exists
I spent years as a data engineer managing fragmented infrastructure; more time duct-taping tools together than actually solving problems. When I was laid off in late 2024, I came within one interview question of taking the safer path. Instead, I went all in on the data team I wished existed.
The thesis is simple: AI is only as good as the data behind it. Every company needs clean, accessible data, but most can't afford the full data stack or the full data team that it takes to build it. OptimaFlo enhances your data owner with an AI data team without the enterprise price tag.
The shovel in the gold rush.

Your data stays yours, in open formats
Simplicity over complexity
If a data engineer can’t set it up in an afternoon, we’ve failed. Every feature we ship must reduce complexity, not add it.
Your data, your rules
Your data never touches our servers. You own every byte, every query, every pipeline. Always.
Open standards, no lock-in
We build on Apache Iceberg, Airflow, and Spark. Not proprietary formats. If you ever leave, your data goes with you.
AI as teammate, not gimmick
AI should do the tedious work: writing SQL, inferring schemas, catching quality issues. So humans can focus on decisions.
FAQ
Questions, answered
What is OptimaFlo?
OptimaFlo is an AI data team for companies with more data than people. It runs in your own cloud and connects your sources, builds pipelines, models your data, answers questions, builds dashboards, and watches quality. You describe what you need in plain English, and the work ships in minutes.
Is OptimaFlo an AI data team or a data tool?
Both, but the team is the point. A Manager delegates to an Ingestion Engineer, Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Analyst, BI Developer, and Quality Engineer. They run on a platform built for them, so replacing six to ten separate tools is a by-product, not the goal.
Does my data leave my cloud?
No. OptimaFlo deploys into your own AWS or GCP account. Your data stays in your cloud in open Apache Iceberg format, so you own it and never operate the stack.
Who built OptimaFlo?
OptimaFlo was founded in 2024 by Evan Rosa, a data engineer who spent years duct-taping data tools together, and built the platform he wished existed.
