Meet the Team

Auditorium AI was founded by Ryan Gontier and Vedant Harlalka, two University of Toronto engineers who shared a single goal — to make intelligent lighting design accessible to every performer, not just major arenas.

Our Story

What began as a late-night dorm-room experiment quickly evolved into a full-scale AI platform.

Our Founders

Ryan Gontier is a Pearson Scholar, working at EY as a Technology Consultant. He brings skills in software development and machine learning.

Vedant Harlalka is a Pearson Scholar, Laidlaw Research Fellow, and the youngest research associate at the Advanced Photovoltaic Devices Lab. He specializes in hardware and systems engineering.

Our Vision

We believe that technology should amplify human creativity, not replace it. Auditorium AI empowers artists, DJs, and stage designers with an autonomous lighting assistant.
