Summary
Matt Curfman is a director-level software engineering leader who designs and ships high-performance AI, GPU, virtualization, and cloud systems across automotive, gaming, and robotics domains. Over a decade of hands-on leadership at Intel produced production-grade platforms that enabled digital cockpits in 50M+ vehicles, powered 200+ games with AI super-resolution, and helped launch a $50M+ robotics business. He blends deep low-level systems expertise (kernel, drivers, hypervisors, GPU scheduling) with pragmatic product delivery—patenting low-latency inference frameworks and driving open-source projects like an automotive hypervisor used across the industry. Known for turning noisy data into clear, data-driven strategy, he aligns cross-functional teams to consistently deliver performance and on-time results. Currently based in Oregon, he splits time between advising AI startups, founding Spunky Tensor, and leading engineering in stealth-mode ventures. A rare operator who sweats the technical details yet scales organizations and ecosystems, he repeatedly moves academic ideas into mission-critical production.
