Drew Parker is a mathematician-turned-technical-founder building production systems at the intersection of AI, security, and learning at scale. Drew is the Co-Founder and CTO of Dainamiq, a venture focused on applications in quantum networking. In parallel, Drew serves as Co-Founder and CTO of Rationarium, a venture providing open-source educational infrastructure to universities across North America.<\/p>\n
Trained as a pure mathematician and a hardware tinkerer by disposition, Drew spent thirteen years on the mathematics faculty at CUNY, serving as Principal Investigator on US Department of Education grants totaling $3.25M. Across all of this work, Drew specializes in privacy- and security-first systems: infrastructure that puts control in the hands of the people using it rather than the platforms hosting it.<\/p>\n
Drew sits on the Executive Board of The WeBWorK Project as Managing Editor of the Open Problem Library \u2014 an open educational resource used by more than a thousand institutions globally \u2014 and is an inventor on patents in agentic-AI workflow automation and quantum-safe cryptographic orchestration. Drew holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Mathematics from the University of Kansas, an M.Ed. in Secondary Education from St. John’s University, and a B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
