Jess Danforth is the founder and lead engineer at Synapse Dynamics, a growing tech firm developing AI systems for aerospace and defence applications. Known for her sharp wit and calm confidence, she thrives on solving complex problems that others overlook.

A decorated Air Force officer and later a strategic advisor for Lockheed Martin, he earned a reputation for calm precision. His work linked him to Wright-Patterson and Camp Peary along with other installations that didn’t officially exist.
