Engineered Under Constraint

Delivered With Discipline

What We Do

Roper builds edge devices that form zero-infrastructure mesh networks.

Our technology provides connectivity for humans and unmanned systems when conventional networks are unavailable or unreliable.

Execution Under Constraint

Designed for Operational Use

We engineer systems against real operational limits — spectrum, power, size, supply chain, and timelines — applying the appropriate level of rigor at each stage of execution.

Built for Purpose

We design purpose-built systems and carry them through integration, test, and transition, with a focus on user experience, reliability, and maintainability.

US-Owned & Manufactured

Roper is 100% US-owned and operated. All products are designed and built in the United States in compliance with NDAA and ITAR/EAR requirements.

Our Services

We provide technical services across the full product lifecycle, from requirements and system definition through engineering, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing transition.

Our work combines deep domain expertise with disciplined, system-level execution to solve complex problems and move working systems into operation quickly and reliably.

Management Team

Maeve Garigan

Maeve Garigan, Board Member & Technical Founder. 


Maeve is the technical authority for Roper’s secure, zero-infrastructure sensing and communication systems. She is co-inventor of Roper’s product stack, including the PATCH® wearable and the SnapMesh™ secure mesh networking protocol.


Prior to founding Roper, Maeve served as a technology advisor and lead engineer supporting U.S. military commands, with a focus on unmanned systems, C4ISR, weapons, and tactical mobility. Her work spans research and development through manufacture and fielding.


Maeve holds an MA in International Economics and Strategic Studies and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University. She is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and has completed operational training in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection (AT/FP).
Roper COO Dana De Coster

Dana De Coster, COO. 


Dana is the Chief Operating Officer and leads operations, customer deployment, and the integration of Roper’s systems into real-world missions. A retired U.S. Navy SEAL Commander, he brings 20 years of experience leading teams in complex, high-risk environments.


During deployments, Dana expanded from operational leadership to directing technical teams, including deployed engineers integrating diverse data streams into real-time operational systems. He also led the deployment of backpackable reconnaissance drones for Special Operations, where he first worked with Maeve. 


Dana later co-founded Roper with Maeve and is the co-inventor of Roper’s PATCH® wearable mesh networking device.


Dana holds a BBA in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin, a Master of International Public Policy from Johns Hopkins University, and an MA in National Security and Strategic Studies from the U.S. Naval War College.
