Transparencythat Builds Trust

Levi's career started at State Farm in 2012, where he worked his way through several roles before becoming a catastrophe adjuster, traveling to areas impacted by major storms, fires, and hurricanes. Working directly with homeowners during some of their most difficult moments gave him an early understanding of just how overwhelming the insurance and rebuilding process can be. Along the way, he also earned his commercial drone pilot license and helped lead State Farm's first drone team.

He later joined Safeco/Liberty Mutual, where he transitioned from claims into working directly with insurance agencies. Over the years, he built relationships with hundreds of agents across multiple states, eventually becoming Senior Territory Manager for New Mexico. That experience gave him a completely different perspective on the insurance industry, particularly the challenges agents face when trying to help their customers through a claim.

In 2024, Levi took that experience into the construction industry, joining ERS Construction to help build its insurance restoration division from the ground up. Today, as Director of Insurance Restoration, he oversees the department and works closely with homeowners, insurance companies, and contractors throughout the restoration process.

Having spent years on nearly every side of an insurance claim, Levi kept noticing the same problem from different perspectives. Homeowners were often left wondering what was happening with their projects, insurance agents struggled to stay informed about their customers, and the many people involved didn't always have visibility into the bigger picture.

That experience inspired Levi to create Blueprint Projects. He believed homeowners, agents, contractors, vendors, and everyone involved should have a clearer understanding of what's happening throughout a project. At its core, Blueprint Projects was built around a simple idea: people shouldn't have to chase down answers or feel left in the dark. They should be able to follow the progress, understand what's happening, and feel confident that everyone is working toward the same goal.

Stephen earned his B.S. in physics at Kansas State University and his Ph.D. in space-plasma physics at the University of Kansas, where he spent four years as a graduate research assistant.

From 2019 to 2024 he was a Senior Research Scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. He modeled and simulated satellite defense systems, space domain awareness networks, and orbital mechanics, and developed war-games for the U.S. Space Force.

In 2024 he joined Axioforce as the Head of Sensor R&D for small, soft, 3D force sensors, where he owns each sensor from concept to customer. He defines what a new sensor should be and signs off on its electronics design. He then writes its firmware and software, develops the calibration protocol, and sets the pass criteria every sensor must meet before it ships.

He also models and simulates the sensors and leads the company's machine learning work, pulling as much as the data will allow. His calibration pipeline has trained and validated models for hundreds of force plates, load cells, and insoles against reference instruments. He validates every step of the sensor build, from the first design to the units that go out the door.

Across all of it, the work has come down to one question: can you trust what the numbers say? A sensor is only useful if its readings hold up against a reference, and a simulation is only useful if the people relying on it understand what went into it. Stephen brings that same discipline to Blueprint Projects, building software that shows everyone the same information and is honest about where it came from.

Mitch earned his bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison before joining NVIDIA in 2009. He spent nearly fifteen years as a Senior Verification Engineer and became a Hardware Engineering Manager in 2024. His work has focused on PCI Express, the interface that connects processors, graphics cards, and other devices. He now manages the team that develops and supports NVIDIA's internal PCIe Bus Functional Model, a tool used in hardware verification. He is also a member of PCI-SIG and has contributed to the PCIe specification.

In 2026, Mitch and his wife co-created Wonderspun, a platform that helps people make personalized children's storybooks with AI. Users create characters, generate stories and illustrations, and edit the results into books they can read and share, all in one process from the first idea to the finished story.

That same year, Mitch created Wollipog, an open-source tool he continues to maintain. It brings coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex into one browser or desktop interface, so developers can follow work across projects and machines, review changes, and handle approvals while the agents run on their own development machines. The goal is to make increasingly capable tools easier to supervise and understand.

At Blueprint Projects, Mitch focuses on software development and technical guidance, bringing his experience in hardware verification and building AI applications to the team's technical decisions and day-to-day development. The common thread is making complex systems easier to trust: software that makes the work visible, helps people understand what is happening, and gives them a clear way to check the result.
