Matt Walker is a seasoned data scientist and technical founder with 16 years of experience building large-scale dataflow systems and analytics platforms. As CTO, CISO, and co-founder of Simon AI he architects customer data infrastructure that powers personalization and cross-channel orchestration for brands like JetBlue and Bombas. His background spans production Hadoop/EMR stacks, custom dataflow languages and operators, and applied research in clustering and classification from roles at Etsy, Pervasive Software, and Apple. Matt pairs deep hands-on engineering—having implemented novel dataflow algorithms and scalable ETL systems—with product leadership in a fast-growing CDP company. Based in Austin, he’s equally comfortable debugging distributed job performance as he is shaping security and platform strategy, and his early work shows a knack for turning algorithmic research into reliable production services.
