Raph Copeland
Managing Partner/Founder

I have been working with systems, primarily in the field of cyber security, since 1994. Formerly Chief Technology Officer of a private equity firm and its associated hedge fund. I have worked for private, non-profit and government entities in New York, Hong Kong and Beijing, as an Information Technology Specialist, Network Administrator and Cybersecurity Consultant.

I have three wonderful kids, and I’m hoping my daughter will join me as a graphic designer soon. I also have the two best dogs ever. I’m a tournament-level chess player, and my hobbies include learning all the distributions of Linux, traveling, 9-ball, Scandinavian artwork, collecting coins, Chinese sculpture, and lockpicking.

I have volunteered for multiple charitable organizations, setting up their back end systems. I have also refurbished old computers to donate to needy families in Hightstown, New Jersey.

My writing and editing has been published in major medical journals, books, and press releases, and translated into four languages.

Peking Union Medical School, Beijing, 2003

I was born to do what I do. I touched a computer for the first time at the age of 24. Within a year, I was building my own computers from spare parts. I have a 42 terabyte server (no, that’s not a typo) running Synology OS and a Cisco business switch, a Firewalla firewall, a Tripp-Lite KVM switch and an encrypted laptop dual booting into Windows and Linux Mint. I spent 2003 setting up cybersecurity for eight major medical schools in eight different cities in China, and I was working on systems that were all in Mandarin, and I just had to use muscle memory and experience to get the job done. I was in Hong Kong in 2000 working on systems there. I’ve since worked on systems in New York City, Biloxi, MS, Ann Arbor, MI, West Windsor, NJ, Lakewood, NJ, Rye, NY, White Plains, NY, Elmsford, NY, and Los Angeles.
