About Uptomic

Uptomic wasn’t built by career counselors. It was built by military-intelligence experts.

Our founders built systems used by intelligence organizations to identify emerging threats, detect hidden patterns, and help decision-makers act before risks became obvious. Today, those same principles are pointed at a different battlefield: the future of work.

Why We Built This

Built by people who did this for a living.

The future belongs to the informed.

As AI reshapes industries, professions, and entire career paths, success belongs to whoever sees change before it happens, understands risk before it becomes a crisis, and recognizes opportunity before everyone else. That's what intelligence systems do. And that's why Uptomic is fundamentally different from every job board, résumé tool, and AI career coach on the market.

For decades, companies have held better data on your career than you do — and used it to decide what you're worth, who moves up, and who stalls out. We built Uptomic to flip that: the same intelligence once locked inside boardrooms, now pointed in your favor. Clear paths. Fair pay. Real growth — not for the privileged few, but for anyone ready to take it.

Why Now

The ground is moving. Most people can't see it yet.

The job market is being rewritten in real time. Wages trail inflation. Security is eroding. AI is changing the rules of work overnight — and most people are making the biggest decisions of their careers with outdated information and a blindfold on. We think that's UNACCEPTABLE. Everyone deserves the intelligence that used to be reserved for the people at the top.

Who We Are

Meet the team.

We've lived inside the system, seen exactly how it stacks the odds, and built Uptomic to even them.

Kevin Brown

Co-Founder & CEO

Kevin built Uptomic after two decades inside the systems that shape decisions, careers, and pay. In defense and intelligence, he saw how better information changes outcomes. In staffing, enterprise leadership, and large organizations, he saw the other side: employers had the data, workers had guesses. Salary pressure, expanding workloads, added responsibilities, and promises of future pay that rarely fully materialized kept people under-informed and underpaid. Uptomic is his answer: intelligence that sits with the individual, not just the institution. Kevin brings the rare mix this company needs: intelligence-system experience, labor-market experience, leadership under pressure, and the ability to assemble teams that can solve problems larger than any one founder. He is a former senior leader at AWS, IBM, and Booz Allen Hamilton, and a former U.S. Army Officer and Ranger.
