Dr. Jordan Terry leads the Farama Foundation, a nonprofit maintaining the world's most used open-source software for reinforcement learning engineers and researchers. These projects have been installed over 100 million times, and have been used by every major tech company (Amazon, Google/DeepMind, Meta, Microsoft, etc.). These projects include OpenAI Gym (OpenAI's first flagship project), and the Arcade Learning Environment (a benchmark that was a principal component of why Google acquired DeepMind).

Previously, she founded Swarm Labs, an AI safety and security evaluation startup targeting large enterprises, which was invested in by technical leaders at OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, HuggingFace and similar organizations.

Dr. Terry holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, where she researched deep reinforcement learning interface standards and applications to complex systems under the guidance of Dr. John Dickerson and Dr. Dan Lathrop. She also holds a bachelor's degree in physics with premed coursework.
