Osei Harper
Founder, CEO, & President · Hyperion DataForge, Inc.
The person organizations turned to when normal escalation paths had already failed — and the one who then built the answer, documented it, and made it survive contact with production.
Osei Harper spent three decades climbing every rung of the working world — from turning wrenches and working sales floors to Principal Engineer and Federated Architect for Fortune 100 institutions. Hyperion DataForge is what he built when he stopped solving a class of problems one engagement at a time and decided to make them irrelevant.
A U.S. Navy veteran, independent scholar, and credited researcher in the U.S. National Vulnerability Database, he brings the same discipline to data integrity that he once brought to survival equipment: when failure is catastrophic and irreversible, zero-defect is not an aspiration — it is the only acceptable outcome.
Every rung added one capability.
It began with a parachute rigger's zero-defect accountability aboard the USS Ranger, ran through the regulated core of global finance, and matured into principal-engineer and federated-architect work designing enterprise future-state. The through-line never changed: bound the blast radius, prove the integrity, and make the failure class irrelevant rather than manage the incident one more time.
Institutions escalated to him when the answer wasn't in the manual — across estates measured in hundreds of thousands of endpoints and hundreds of millions of dollars.
Hyperion DataForge is that pattern, productized — the engine those thirty years were always pointing at.
