About John

Hello, I’m John Melonakos. I started this blog to engage in dialog on some interesting topics. Please join the conversation by making comments on the various posts.

Outside this blog, I am CEO & Co-Founder of AccelerEyes. We make software to help scientists, engineers, and financial analysts be more productive. More specifically, we sell Jacket – the best set of GPU software in the world!

I went to a lot of school, ending up with a BSEE from Brigham Young University and MS & PhD ECE degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I’m an alumni of Georgia Tech’s TI:GER program and Sam Nunn Security program. I led the winning team in the 2008 Georgia Tech and Georgia Bowl Business Plan Competitions and in Georgia’s 2009 GRA/TAG Business Launch Competition.

During school, I worked at various large companies in summer stints, including General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, and Corning Cable Systems. I was also an early employee of startup Torion Technologies.

From 1999 to 2001, I was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Since then, I’ve served in various teaching capacities and as the youth group leader working with teenage boys. I currently serve as Primary Pianist.

I live in Austell, GA with my wife and 4 children.
