About

A NASA-trained engineer building production-grade tools and parts.

Matthew Vaerewyck founded Pathfinder Labs after leading AI-infused generative design and automation programs across spacecraft and advanced engineering domains, including work at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

Pathfinder Labs focuses on practical, production-ready engineering output: LLM-powered design assistants, computer vision for inspection, topology optimization for mechanical and optomechanical parts, and data pipelines that connect CAD/PLM with test systems.

Every engagement ships production-ready output — a machined part, a working add-in, a running pipeline — not a pure consulting deliverable.
