Founders and leads shaping behavior, mechanics, worldbuilding, operations, and execution across Spryte.
Ryan Benmalek
Founder · AI · BehaviorLeads intelligence and behavior. His work sits where frontier AI meets timing, perception, and character — the decisions that make a machine feel intentional.
Dhruv Malik
Founder · Mechatronics · ControlsLeads mechatronics, controls, and hardware. Turns ambitious concepts into clean, working systems — mechanisms, electronics, and tuning that make motion inevitable.
Nak Yong Choi
Creative Direction · WorldbuildingDefines silhouette, mood, and world. Background across animation and visual development keeps the work from reading like a demo; it has to land like a character.
Alec Seastrand
Mechanical Systems · ManufacturingBrings the mechanical judgment. Knows where complexity belongs, how to keep assemblies honest, and how to make ambitious builds survive first contact with reality.
Alex Zacney
Operations · Luxury · PartnershipsLeads operations, client strategy, and the commercial edge. Previously founded a concierge health company for high-net-worth clients in New York.
