Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBoyd Multerer is a founder and CEO with over a decade of hands-on engineering and leadership experience building platforms that span low-level firmware to cloud services and consumer UIs. He led foundational work on Xbox Live and XNA at Microsoft—efforts that helped create a $1B+/year business and shipped robust updating, security, and developer ecosystems—and has filed roughly 50 patents with more than half approved. Now running Kry10 and incubating startups in Wellington, he codes daily, focuses on secure, minimal-hardware connected-device platforms, and is an active Elixir advocate (also contributing refactors to the Scenic UI library). Boyd prefers small, high-leverage teams, emphasizes engineering ownership and integration-focused testing, and brings rare cross-domain experience from chip vectors to AAA game engines and datacenter tooling. He also pursues curious side projects—a private web search engine, semiconductor research, and music—that reflect an inventor’s instinct for long-lived product value.
