Anthony Krivonos is a founder and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building production-scale software and AI products, currently serving as Co-Founder & CTO of Toma, a YC-backed startup applying state-of-the-art models to the automotive industry. He previously shipped high-throughput, secure ML and real-time systems at Scale AI and led widely used backend features at Lyft, and has a track record of founding and exiting product-focused startups in adjacent spaces like ChatGPT plugins and crypto trading tooling. Comfortable across the stack—from CI/CD and model training to Go backend services and realtime streaming—he blends hands-on engineering with product instincts that scale to millions of users. Less obvious: he’s repeatedly turned rapid prototypes into acquihires or revenue-generating products, demonstrating an ability to move fast and make pragmatic technical tradeoffs. Based in New York, he pairs Columbia engineering training with deep experience in deploying ML-driven systems in constrained, high-security environments.
