About
Hi, I’m Reyann Larkey, usually I just go by Rey. I live in Belton, Missouri with my husband Jake, our Daughter Elizabeth, and our dogs, Chief and Moose. We hike and camp when we can, enjoy going out to parks, zoos, and the library. I like solving problems, and I love puzzles - I make my own crosswords on the side and I created a play-at-home Jeopardy app that you can play on your local computer.
I’m a Solutions Architect at commonFont where I design, build, and deploy enterprise applications to increase company insights using AI where applicable. Before that I obtained my PhD in Physics from Montana State University, where I studied lightning and the high-energy flashes that show up with it (TGFs). I also built a slew of Ballooning instruments that have been deployed world-wide for that work.
Full job history and skills are on my CV. Client work stays there on purpose.
