Bob "Masa" Matsuoka
Software Engineer in Hastings on Hudson, NY
I architect transformational technology strategies while pioneering the future of agentic AI development, leveraging over two decades of hands-on engineering leadership to drive measurable business impact. As Head of Product Engineering and Interim CTO at Tripadvisor, I orchestrated a 550+ engineer organization managing $140M in annual technology investments, accelerating digital transformation initiatives that supported $900M in yearly revenues. My strategic vision extends from successful exits—including leading Citymaps through its $30M acquisition by Tripadvisor—to establishing new engineering markets across Romania, Moldova, and Croatia that delivered $20M in annual cost savings. Today, I channel this expertise through fractional CTO engagements and thought leadership, authoring HyperDev for 1000+ subscribers while building production-ready AI tools like my AI Code Review package that's reshaping how developers integrate autonomous systems. My technical foundation spans Next.js, TypeScript, and Python, but my real differentiator lies in translating emerging AI capabilities into scalable business solutions. I don't just predict the future of technology—I actively build it, helping organizations from global media networks to travel platforms harness agentic AI while maintaining the human-centered leadership approach that has consistently transformed teams and delivered exponential growth.
