MATTHEW HYATT: CO-FOUNDER / PRESIDENT

I’m a passionate and innovative graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with a background in Mechanical Engineering and Robotics. During my time at CMU, I’ve developed skills in AI, ML, and CAD design. I’ve also built strong programming expertise in Python, Java, C++, and MATLAB, and my hands-on experience includes advanced machining, rapid prototyping, and circuit board design.

Professionally, I’ve had the chance to contribute to some exciting projects in both academic and industry settings. For example, for the FedEx Surface Operations Technology R&D Team, I streamlined reporting systems and improved the efficiency of asset tracking applications, leading to significant cost savings and performance improvements in areas like autonomous vehicle data and vendor performance tracking. At CMU’s RoboMechanics Lab, I took the lead on CAD design for a modular quadruped robot, and I contributed to the Iris and MoonRanger lunar rover projects. Additionally, I developed assistive technology to support individuals with disabilities, earning an IP disclosure for my innovative design.

CONNOR HYATT: CO-FOUNDER

I’m an undergraduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems with a minor in Machine Learning (ML). I recently led my team to a first-place victory at the 2024 Pittsburgh ALPFA Business Case Competition. My technical expertise spans Python, Java, JavaScript, SQL, HTML, CSS, Pandas, Tableau, Excel, Git, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Figma. Additionally, I am fluent in English, Japanese, and Spanish.

To gain experience as a Full Stack Developer during my internship, I developed a comprehensive equipment reservation system, complete with a PostgreSQL database integration. I’ve also participated in research on CMU’s campus as part of a cybersecurity team. My academic projects span from database design to social media sentiment analysis, as well as creating a Python-based raycasting game.

RYAN HYATT: CO-FOUNDER

I’m a student at Upper St. Clair High School, graduating in June 2025. Through Carnegie Mellon’s Pre-College Program, I’ve explored AI’s role in bridging linguistic divides and enhancing cultural learning experiences.

I serve as Vice President of the National Honor Society. I also mentor freshmen through the USC Junior Mentor Program and volunteer with US Youth Soccer's TOP Soccer program, mentoring young athletes with disabilities. My extracurriculars include varsity volleyball, VEX robotics, and SPARK Students into STEM initiatives. With skills in Python, Java, and investment analysis, I’m eager to apply my global perspective and leadership to future opportunities in tech and finance with AI.

DR. KIM J. HYATT: CO-FOUNDER

I’m a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and the Executive Director of the Heinz Extended Reality (XR) Lab and Lending Library. Additionally, I’m a member of CMU’s University Education Council.

Previously, I won a CMU Teaching Innovation Award for my work developing a virtual reality (VR) application to improve public speaking skills using artficial intelligence, machine learning, and user reflections.
