CTO & Co-Founder

Tommy is building the privacy-first edge AI platform at Thox.ai. He leads all technical development including the Thox.ai 1.0 carrier board, ThoxOS (written from scratch in Rust), MagStack magnetic clustering technology, and a 25-invention patent portfolio.

Hardware architecture & firmware (Rust, JetPack 6)
ThoxOS: real-time inference, OTA updates, cluster management
MagStack: proprietary magnetic interconnect for multi-device scaling
IP strategy: 25 inventions across 7 domains

Tommy's technical scope spans the full AI model pipeline including TensorRT-LLM, Ollama, and on-device quantization, as well as OEM/ODM manufacturing engagement with NVIDIA Elite Partners. He leads development of ThoxSDK (Rust + Zig), the ThoxModels registry, and ThoxQu quantum co-processor R&D, shipping hardware and software that keeps AI local with no cloud dependency and full user sovereignty.
