R. Spencer Fink
Engineering Leader
I’m the CTO and co-founder of Brava, where we’re replacing annual performance reviews with continuous, example-based feedback. Before that I led engineering at Hypha and spent five years at Meta building rights-management and creator-economy systems. Before software, I studied film production at Emerson and ran a photography and cinematography business. I’m currently working on an MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech.
