About Us
We built the extra hands data teams need.
Using your data takes a whole team: someone to connect the sources, model the data, build the dashboards and watch the quality. Most companies have fewer people than jobs, so questions queue up behind whoever has time.
OptimaFlo gives you AI teammates for each job: the Manager, Ingestion Engineer, Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Analyst, BI Developer and Quality Engineer. They do the repeat work in your own cloud and enhance the people you have, whether that is none yet, one, a few, or a big team. Someone on your side decides what ships.
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.

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 is stored in your cloud account, never ours. You own every byte, every query, every pipeline. Always.
Open standards, no lock-in
We build on Apache Iceberg and Airflow. 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 gives companies with more data work than people a set of AI teammates. They run in your own cloud and connect your sources, build pipelines, model your data, answer questions, build dashboards, and watch quality. You describe what you need in plain English, and the work ships in minutes.
Are OptimaFlo's AI teammates a data tool?
Both, but the teammates are 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?
Your tables are stored in your own AWS or GCP account in open Apache Iceberg format, and your pipelines run there, so you own your data. Some features, such as previews, AI answers and data exports, read data through OptimaFlo's servers today. We are moving that work into your cloud.
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.
