Vince Gaydarzhiev

Vince is the founder of Alcatraz AI, an autonomous access control platform, replacing badging and biometric technologies in the enterprise. Previously he worked at NVIDIA on the embedded multimedia systems that power Tesla Model S, BMW, and Audi. Later on, he joined Apple to lead the hardware prototype engineering team for iPad and iPhone, where FaceID was in development. This is where he saw a clear need for a better, future-proof access control platform not only for mobile but also for the physical world, autonomously authenticating employees and checking for tailgating, significantly increasing security without the expense of friction.
