Founder

Shawn Sharp

Founder & developer, CareHaven

Shawn Sharp is a Birmingham-based security professional and University of Alabama at Birmingham graduate (BS and MBA). After his own family spent years coordinating complex care for their son — the medications, the specialists, the appointments, and the constant work of remembering it all — he couldn't find a tool that fit. So he built one. His background in security shaped CareHaven's defining choice: every piece of care data stays encrypted on the device, with no account and no servers to breach. CareHaven is the app he wishes his family had from the start.
