Trevor Lovett is an investor-advisor and founder with 16 years of engineering experience building high-scale, production systems and advising seed-stage hard-tech and AI startups. He spent the bulk of his engineering career designing and operating large distributed media systems at WhatsApp and Meta, including work on CDN and media upload infrastructure serving over a billion users. A Stanford-trained mathematical and computational scientist, Trevor pairs deep systems-level engineering with product instincts honed through founding a YC-backed startup and early roles in gaming and geophysical compute. Since 2018 he’s focused on investing and advising, bringing hands-on architectural judgment to capital allocation and technical due diligence. He’s comfortable in low-level languages and distributed-number-crunching environments as well as modern cloud and AI stacks, making him a pragmatic bridge between research-driven teams and production realities. Based in Bellingham, Washington, Trevor combines founder grit with scaled-systems experience, often favoring technically ambitious teams tackling hard infrastructure problems.
