Allie Janoch
Co-Founder & CEO
Mapistry
Allie is a software engineer, bookworm, yogi, and chocoholic (sometimes all at the same time). After getting her B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland and her M.S. in Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley, Allie joined IQ Engines to work on image
recognition.
After Yahoo acquired IQ Engines in 2013, Allie worked on integrating IQ Engines' machine-learning algorithms into Flickr. But she soon grew restless, and began searching for a product she could be passionate about.
As an avid hiker, she saw environmental protection as a noble pursuit - and quickly discovered that helping businesses comply with environmental regulations was an underserved opportunity. She left Yahoo to found Mapistry in 2013 with Ryan.
Allie has published and presented on her computer vision and machine-learning research in multiple publications and conferences. She also holds a patent on Automatic Image Piling, and was named one of the Top 30 Under 30 by GreenBiz.
