Dan Gailey, founder and CEO of Synapse AI, earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Mississippi. Submitted photo<\/p><\/div>\n

Like an electrical circuit that makes connections and produces and transfers power, Dan Gailey (BSEE 10) has found a way to do something similar with data.<\/p>\n

As founder and CEO of Synapse AI, a decentralized network and marketplace for programmatic access to data and machine learning models, the University of Mississippi<\/a> alumnus has formed lucrative and powerful partnerships with clients around the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had opportunities to work in various startups, venture capital and at Make: magazine,\u201d said the Houston, Texas, native who migrated with his family to Tupelo. \u201cI\u2019m most proud of all the teams I\u2019ve had a chance to know and work with, and the products we\u2019ve launched together. Each venture is a new baby that takes significant love, support and care to grow through good times and bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through his profession, Gailey has met many makers from all over the world. Based in San Francisco, California, since he graduated, he spends most of his time in Europe and Asia traveling and working.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy responsibilities are helping to move everyone forward through uncertainty to discovery as fast as possible to build something that has never existed before and making sense of everything while maintaining vision,\u201d Gailey said.<\/p>\n

The AI expert’s journey to worldwide success began when he decided to attend the university.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family suggested I check out Ole Miss, which I did,\u201d he said. \u201cI really enjoyed the culture, food and environment in and around the campus. I also met some smart and fun people that I really enjoyed spending my time with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among Gailey\u2019s favorite electrical engineering courses were Circuits, taught by associate professor Elliott Hutchcraft, labs taught by adjunct instructor Matt Inman and any class taught by associate professor Richard Gordon.<\/p>\n

\u201cElliott really worked to make complicated topics more approachable,\u201d Gailey said. \u201cRichard was great because he is basically a super genius that knew all the answers to any questions we had. Matt\u2019s labs were always wonderful because he really knew how to inspire everyone to work together and converge on solutions as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inman recalled that Gailey was an excellent and innovative student.<\/p>\n

\u201cDan showed a mix of maturity, excitement and inquisitiveness that helped bring others along to interacting in class. From the first day, he exuded that sort of entrepreneurial creativity and was never going to be content without leaving his mark on the world, finding his niche and making his name be known.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his junior year in electrical engineering, Gailey learned how to balance challenging workloads under significant time constraints. He also became fearless in leading, planning, prioritizing and delivering results-driven outcomes. The most significant lesson for Gailey was learning how to do all of that as part of a team.<\/p>\n

\u201cOle Miss brought together some of the best and brightest people I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure of knowing, working and growing with,\u201d he said. \u201cFor that, I\u2019m grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gailey\u2019s family includes his mother, Angie Gailey, and brother Patrick Lee Gailey, both of Tupelo.<\/p>\n

His spare moments are spent creating art, visiting museums, hanging out at hacker\/maker spaces, experiencing new cultures and people, prototyping with electronics, reading science fiction and thinking about artificial general intelligence, or AGI.<\/p>\n
