Summary
Matt Hoiland is a seasoned software engineer and startup founder with 11+ years of experience building production-grade web and conversational systems, currently leading an enterprise generative-AI platform at Cambia that serves 3,500+ daily users and 20k+ queries per week. He combines hands-on full-stack engineering with product leadership—architecting secure Next.js chatbots on AWS Bedrock, tool-augmented agents, and structured retrieval over claims and coverage data while driving member-facing agent rollouts. Previously he shipped payer-scale products including a Da Vinci FHIR prior-auth portal, a unified customer-support chatbot, a 508/WCAG-compliant design system, and one of the country’s earliest payer COVID symptom checkers. As co-founder of Tali he turned a weekend prototype into VC funding and real MRR within months, gaining deep expertise in voice UIs, transcription correction, and API orchestration that maps directly to today’s clinical co-pilot use cases. Matt pairs pragmatic engineering with accessibility and compliance sensibilities, and brings an unusual blend of product instincts born from building billing integrations, payment stacks, and full-stack apps himself. Based in Lake Oswego, Oregon, he’s also a dad, strawberry gardener, adventure motorcyclist, and former tiny-home builder—details that hint at a practical, hands-on approach to solving hard problems.
