Top SchoolRob Royce is a Principal Software Engineer with a decade of hands‑on experience building AI-enabled systems and end-to-end data paths, currently shaping flight and inference software at Matter Intelligence. Previously at NASA JPL he led agency-wide Generative AI efforts, open-sourced ROSA (a top JPL AI project) and shipped operational GenAI tooling during the 2025 California wildfires, earning an Agency Honor Award. He blends low-level embedded work (33× YOLO speedups on Snapdragon) with full‑stack product delivery—evident in his Electron/Angular knowledge‑management contributions—and maintains large C++/Python robotics codebases. Based in Los Angeles, Rob pairs strategic advisory experience on cloud and LLM adoption with a knack for rapid prototyping and making research-grade systems reliably production-ready.
