Matthew Habtezgi is a founding engineer and MIT CS student (Class of 2025) with nine years of hands-on experience building low-latency, high-fidelity systems spanning embedded/kernel work, backend services, and ML engineering. He’s co-founded AI startups (including a YC W24-backed customer support platform) and now helps build Bronco AI, combining product-first startup grit with deep systems expertise. His research at MIT CSAIL on isolating multiprocessor cache side channels and verifying tensor compilation reflects a rare mix of security-aware systems thinking and formal verification. Practical production experience includes profiling CPU-BMC interrupt latencies at AWS hardware engineering and shipping TypeScript/React stacks for fast AI-native products. Based in San Francisco, he favors instrumented, performance-driven engineering that bridges kernel-level optimizations to user-facing ML services. Unusually for a founder-engineer, he pairs startup speed with a researcher's focus on proving correctness under adversarial timing conditions.
