Matt Rossman is an AI Tooling Engineer with nine years of full-stack experience building interactive web, wearable, and VR experiences, currently applying AI and web technologies at Supabase after leading UX and platform work at Hallway. He blends rigorous CS foundations from UMass and Northeastern with an MS in Human-Computer Interaction from Georgia Tech, enabling him to bridge design, research, and engineering across front-end, backend, and 3D pipelines. Matt has shipped low-latency AI character systems and collaborated closely with 3D artists and ML engineers, and his open-source contributions to the popular pmndrs/drei library improved environment HDRI support and GLTF performance via MeshoptDecoder. Comfortable in high-velocity teams, he prioritizes user-centered design, developer ergonomics, and reproducible tooling. An unassuming detail: his background includes published research on ambient gait monitoring and hands-on experience prototyping conversational AI in web-based social VR.
