Senior🎓
Top SchoolArya Hezarkhani is a technology leader and CTO with nine years of experience building high-impact systems in AI, satellite flight software, and HPC infrastructure. Currently leading Arena Physica’s Atlas Platform and electromagnetic AI efforts—backed by top-tier VCs—he blends product, engineering, and go-to-market instincts from roles that progressed from engineering lead to GM to CTO. Previously a founding member of Amazon Kuiper’s flight software team and an AWS HPC engineer, he has deep experience shipping low-latency, distributed systems and simulation-driven control software. He also advises and invests in early-stage founders, helping teams hire and scale product development. Trained at Carnegie Mellon in ECE and biomedical engineering, he brings a cross-disciplinary approach that connects physical systems, machine learning, and production-grade software. A lesser-known thread in his career is hands-on work with constrained-sensor algorithms (retinal prostheses research), reflecting a long-standing interest in impactful, resource-aware engineering.
