Chief Technology Officer

Roy Barman is the Chief Technology Officer at Cynosure Connect, where he drives the company’s mission to bring AI-powered solutions to behavioral health. With more than two decades in technology, Roy has shipped over 200 large-scale systems, scaled global engineering teams across four continents, and guided platforms into the hands of companies like Tesla, NFL franchises, and public agencies.

Before Cynosure, Roy served as CTO and VP of Engineering at dt360 Inc. / Dropthought (BCT Group), where he inherited a team of 150 engineers and grew it to more than 300 worldwide. Under his leadership, development velocity tripled and technical debt that had piled up over years was cleared, largely by embedding AI into everyday engineering practice. He has also co-founded Fijo Technologies, a rideshare and delivery startup, and held senior roles at Polaris Wireless, CoreLogic, NaviSite (Accenture), and Oracle.

Roy’s leadership philosophy is simple: execution is the moat. He often says, “What you plan to do tomorrow, complete today. What you plan to do next year, aim to complete this year.” For him, knowledge and experience may be shaped by time and circumstance - but attitude, aptitude, and the ability to reduce stress in others are what truly build winning teams.

A technologist at heart, Roy is fluent in AI/ML stacks, cloud architectures, and real-time systems. He holds five U.S. patents, from secure ridesharing models to AI optimization techniques, and is a strong advocate for responsible AI, data governance, and compliance across SOC2, HIPAA, and GDPR.

Originally from Kolkata, India, Roy brings a global perspective to every role. He earned his Bachelor of Engineering from Jadavpur University and an MBA from UC Davis, with further study at UC Berkeley, Google, and AWS. Outside of work, he’s a wine connoisseur who believes a well-crafted bottle is as much about timing, patience, and execution as great technology.
