Knysz brings a background in security and distributed systems
and entrepreneurial experience founding and building web
companies.
SAN
FRANCISCO, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Interweb, Inc., the company building the "printing press"
for software development, is proud to announce that Dr.
Matthew Knysz is joining the team as
Chief Technology Officer. A seasoned entrepreneur, Knysz has
co-founded multiple Silicon Valley startups, attracting investments
from notable investors like Mayfield, Cherubic, and innovative and
impactful angels including Lars
Rasmussen, the founder of Google Maps. Knysz's journey from
research at Bell Labs to the dynamic world of entrepreneurship has
equipped him with a rare blend of talents to propel Interweb, Inc.,
and its Web3 tooling suite Cosmology, into its next phase. Knysz is
particularly eager to transform on-chain complexity into no-chain
simplicity, just as no-code has democratized building
applications.
One of Knysz's ventures seamlessly brought together physical and
virtual landscapes into cohesive hybrid digital experiences,
predating the widespread adoption of the metaverse. Knysz was
inspired by the potential of Web3, leading him to delve deeper to
integrate the technology and confront the undeveloped state of the
Web3 developer experience. His mission at Cosmology involves not
only empowering blockchain developers with sophisticated tools, but
also making them accessible to the broader web ecosystem, enabling
them to integrate the interoperable web of ownership into their
product experiences.
Cosmology Founder, Dan Lynch,
reflected: "Having both spent decades at the frontier of web
development, Matt and I are deeply aligned in our desire to make
the web whole again, dissolving the boundaries between Web2 and
Web3 and bringing about the next evolution of the Web: the
interoperable web, or Interweb."
Already, Cosmology's tools have been downloaded 6 million times,
and with Knysz's leadership, the total addressable market of users
is set to expand dramatically from the thousands of native Web3
developers to tens of millions of application builders worldwide.
By equipping anyone with no-chain tools that are easily usable in a
no-code or low-code fashion (in developer-friendly languages), Web3
can finally be integrated into the broader web in applications that
are more capable, accessible, and promote mass adoption.
"I'm thrilled to pursue the no-chain vision with Dan and the
Cosmology team," said Knysz. "By abstracting the complexities
of blockchain development, we aim to bring the benefits of Web3 to
a larger pool of developers and talent as quickly and as easily as
possible, fostering innovation and bringing in a new era of web
applications that realize the synergies between blockchains and
existing web technologies."
Prior to starting two companies and now joining Interweb, Inc.,
Knysz earned his Master's and PhD degrees at the University of Michigan, where he studied security
and distributed systems and developed adaptive software
authentication for distributed sensor networks with the Navy
Research Labs and Cisco. As part of his dissertation, he also built
a globally distributed monitoring and detection system for botnets
using machine learning.
