About Provenance

Evidence of learning, built by people who care about it.

Provenance turns submitted work into demonstrated understanding: we meet students with their own work and ask them to walk through it, producing reviewable evidence of understanding that faculty can inspect and institutions can trust. It's built by a team that has lived both sides of the problem — the classroom and the codebase.

Leadership

Hasan is a software engineer focused on cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and distributed systems. He has designed and operated production systems across the cloud, works primarily in Go and modern backend stacks, and holds a degree in computer science alongside multiple cloud architecture and developer certifications. At Provenance he leads the company, from product direction to the operations that keep it shipping.

Todd Whittaker

Chief Academic Officer

Todd is a computer scientist and longtime academic leader with more than two decades in higher education — teaching, designing curriculum, and chairing computing programs across computer science, information technology, and cybersecurity. He holds a Ph.D. in Information Systems and has spent his career close to the questions Provenance exists to answer: how students demonstrate understanding, and how institutions can trust the evidence behind a grade.

TK

Tim Kington

Chief Technology Officer

Tim is a software engineer with three decades of experience across enterprise software, spanning staff engineering, infrastructure leadership, and software architecture.
