Founder’s Journey and Motivation

Linda Gray shares her unique transition from a successful career in major tech companies like Microsoft and Niantic to founding MasterTech.ai, a startup focused on improving the automotive repair industry using AI. With extensive experience in software engineering and leadership roles, she felt a strong desire to venture into uncharted territory, particularly in fields that have been overlooked by traditional tech solutions. The motivation behind this shift was to use her skills to create innovative, ground-up solutions instead of being part of large-scale tech projects that lacked risk-taking opportunities. MasterTech aims to bring significant technological advancements to car repair shops, which Linda believes have not received adequate attention from the tech sector.
