Meet the CEO

Kalob Silva grew up in a small Arkansas town where money was tight and stability was rare. He became a father at 15 and enlisted in the U.S. Army at 17.

The years that followed were hard: personal battles, setbacks and a stretch of homelessness. Two years ago he rebuilt his life around the two things that never left him: his family and technology.

Largely self-taught, he studied robotics through Texas A&M programs, took part in programs at the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts in Hot Springs, and studied cybersecurity at Arizona State University before choosing to teach himself. He is a member of the Microsoft, Apple and Shopify developer programs.

He has built software for medical companies and manufacturing plants, always under NDA, and remains open to development work for others.

He started Stallion Market after getting rugged one too many times while trading, and decided to ship the fix himself. He is a normal person, just like the people who use it: a family man, down to earth, and a damn good dev.
