About Holonic.

Roger Barnette, our Chief Executive Officer, brings more than 25 years of leadership in building and scaling enterprise technology companies to Holonic Technologies. Holding a B.S. in Computer and Electrical Engineering from the University of South Carolina and an MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, Roger founded and led SearchIgnite as CEO, growing it into a major digital marketing platform that later became IgnitionOne. He then served as CEO of MessageGears for eight years, where under his leadership the company was named the #1 Best Place to Work in Atlanta by the Atlanta Business Chronicle in 2021. Through his deep expertise in go-to-market strategy, organizational development, talent leadership, and technology commercialization, Roger provides the strategic vision and operational execution required to bring CodeIntent® to large government and enterprise clients at scale. This combination of technical foundation, repeated success in high-growth technology businesses, and proven leadership in building outstanding company cultures enables Holonic to translate its deterministic AI innovation into sustainable commercial success.

John Joganic, our Chief AI Officer and the inventor of CodeIntent®, has spent more than 25 years developing a deterministic semantic AI platform that solves one of the most difficult problems in computer science: achieving complete, provable understanding and modernization of large-scale, complex, and often undocumented legacy systems. Since the late 1990s, he has personally led major code conversion and platform development projects, including DOS-to-Windows migrations, Objective-C to C++ re-architectures for financial applications, and the full design and implementation of Universal Risk Manager, a sophisticated enterprise risk-management platform built with advanced componentized architecture, channel-based client-server infrastructure, comprehensive database integration, enterprise-grade security models, and complete build and test systems. Through this sustained, hands-on work at the highest levels of systems engineering, John identified the fundamental brittleness that has always limited both traditional expert systems of the 1970s and 1980s and today’s probabilistic large language models. He then created an entirely new deterministic semantic architecture grounded in formal constraints, mathematical rigor, precise intent modeling, and fully traceable reasoning. The outcome is a system capable of delivering complete, auditable, and provably correct transformations of extraordinarily challenging codebases. These include self-modifying 1970s assembly language, undocumented multi-million-line mainframe applications, and systems in secure government environments. This rare combination of decades of advanced production engineering and original technical innovation is what gives CodeIntent® its unmatched reliability, auditability, and provability at scale.

Eric Schorvitz, our Chief Innovation and Technology Officer, has spent more than 25 years bridging advanced economic theory and practical technology commercialization to solve complex business and software challenges. Holding a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Arizona with concentrations in Game Theory and Experimental Economics under Nobel laureate Vernon Smith and James C. Cox, Eric established early success as the co-founder of iSold.com, where he conceived and developed a sophisticated modular auction engine that was acquired by Clarus Corporation. He later founded PM Technologies, the company through which John's deterministic semantic AI technology was developed, refined, and proven in demanding production environments. Through his deep expertise in mechanism design, risk analysis, platform architecture, and entrepreneurial strategy, Eric recognized the profound commercial potential of the invention and co-founded Holonic Technologies in 2017 to bring CodeIntent® to market. He has provided the strategic vision, organizational leadership, and business framework required to transform a groundbreaking technical innovation into scalable, enterprise-ready solutions for government and large commercial clients. This rare combination of rigorous academic training in economic science, repeated success in technology commercialization, and operational execution is what enables Holonic to pair exceptional technical capability with real-world business impact and sustainable growth at scale.

Jared Hillam, our Chief Product Officer, brings deep product strategy and go-to-market expertise for complex enterprise technology platforms to Holonic Technologies. With a background in Finance and Business Management from Brigham Young University, Jared has built his career scaling data-driven products and customer engagement solutions across multiple high-growth companies. He previously served as Go-to-Market Vice President at BladeBridge, which was acquired by Databricks, and as Executive Vice President of Emerging Technologies at Intricity, where he led innovation in data architecture, identity resolution, and modular customer data platforms. At Holonic, he leads product vision and development for CodeIntent®, ensuring the platform meets the highest standards of usability, enterprise functionality, and client integration. This combination of hands-on product leadership in data and AI technologies with strategic commercialization experience enables Holonic to deliver a best-in-class product that addresses real-world enterprise and government needs at scale.

Stephen Simi, our Vice President of Programs and Operations, brings more than 35 years of senior leadership in complex DoD program management and systems engineering to Holonic Technologies. Holding a Master of Engineering degree from the University of Maryland, College Park, Stephen has spent over 33 years executing major defense programs, with the last 15 years focused on military aviation through model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and agile lifecycle development processes. As Principal Senior Systems Engineer at Raytheon Missile and Defense, he possesses deep expertise in modular open systems architectures (including FACE™, SOSA, and MOSA), airworthiness certification, and large-scale program execution across matrixed organizations and multiple concurrent contracts. At Holonic, he provides the operational discipline, program governance, customer engagement, and government contracting expertise essential for delivering CodeIntent® modernization projects to defense and enterprise clients. This rare combination of extensive technical systems engineering experience, proven DoD program leadership, and operational excellence is what enables Holonic to successfully execute mission-critical modernization initiatives with the rigor required in high-stakes government environments.
