Dr. Arjun Mehta
Co-founder & Chief Scientist
Arjun built the first version of Neural Fabric in a rented server room in Singapore in 2019. Previously: principal researcher at Google Brain (2014–2019), PhD in machine learning from ETH Zürich. He thinks in systems, writes in proofs, and runs 40km a week.
Yuki Tanaka
Co-founder & CEO
Yuki spent seven years building distributed infrastructure at Stripe and Square before co-founding AETHER. She is obsessed with the gap between what systems promise and what they deliver. Headquartered in Singapore; often in Zurich.
Dr. Selin Karaçay
VP Research
Selin joined AETHER from MIT CSAIL, where her PhD thesis on distribution shift in production ML systems became the foundation for Neural Fabric's drift detection engine. She leads a team of 18 researchers across two continents.
James Okafor
VP Engineering, Human Signal
James was the first engineer at two acquired startups before joining AETHER. He brought a decade of embedded systems experience — from RTOS firmware to mobile SDKs — and rebuilt the Human Signal sensor fusion pipeline from scratch in 2023.
Mira Holst
Head of Design
Mira designed systems at Linear (2020–2023) and Figma (2018–2020) before joining AETHER to build the design language for dense technical products. She believes that good design is mostly about removing things.
Dr. Priya Nair
Head of Applied Science
Priya bridges research and product, running the team that turns research notes into production systems. Her background is in statistical signal processing and Bayesian inference. She published 14 papers before she was 30.
Lars Eriksson
VP Engineering, Edge Lattice
Lars spent six years at Ericsson Research building mesh networking protocols before pivoting to the AI-adjacent layer. He wrote the original Edge Lattice consensus protocol over a single weekend in 2021, on a flight from Stockholm to Singapore.
Amara Diallo
General Counsel
Amara joined from Linklaters where she specialized in technology contracts and cross-border data regulation. She drafted AETHER's privacy architecture and is the reason the company operates cleanly across 22 jurisdictions.
