Evan Sinocchi

Hi, i'm Evan, a CS student at Penn State. I work as a forward deployed engineer at IBM building an account intelligence for financial services clients, a founding engineer at Fort Gamma, and I've built automated twilio insurance quote workflows at Truvo.

It all started with playing Minecraft at eight years old, with my dad's old PC that was louder than my air conditioner. Soon enough I was spending countless hours setting up and maintaining a Minecraft server.

Outside of work I train muay thai, cook, and lift. They teach me the same discipline I try to bring to engineering.

Investment research is usually fragmented: a filing in one tab, a price chart in another, a spreadsheet somewhere else, and a valuation model that is difficult to revisit. Fort Gamma brings those pieces into one research surface—so the work can move from understanding a business to forming and stress-testing an opinion.
