Why is it called Roark?

[zammitjames]

Great question! Roark is named after Ted Roark from Chuck — both of us (Daniel and I) watched Chuck a lot growing up, and the name just stuck with us.

No deep meaning, just something we liked and thought sounded cool!

I had assumed it was a reference to the highly polarizing and political author Ayn Rand—might be worth giving some thought to!

My first thought when I saw the name was it would be an AI architecture firm related to Howard Roark from Atlas Shrugged.
