Logan Spears

Logan’s career began when he started a software development shop out of his West Virginia University dorm room. His company specialized in oil & gas and logistics, and operated for three years in the epicenter of the Marcellus Shale boom. While consulting for ShaleApps, pitched as Uber for the Oilfield, Logan was offered a full-time position to run the engineering department. In his first three months, Logan cut engineering costs by 50% and built an in-house team from scratch. This positioned ShaleApps to be successfully acquired in less than a year. Following interests in Big Data, IoT, and Machine Learning, Logan moved to California to join Plainsight and help create a platform that solves some of the major challenges in these areas. As a hands-on manager and true full-stack engineer, Logan has worked on and led nearly every part of the Plainsight stack including mobile, server, and machine learning.
