About Me

I’m Scott McEvoy: a writer, designer, programmer, and lawyer.

I work at Carnegie Mellon University’s tech transfer office, where for the past eight years I’ve managed the IP portfolios for ECE, CyLab, the Software Engineering Institute, and the Robotics Institute.¹

I give talks about IP law and technology, mostly AI and robotics. Along the way I’ve practiced IP law, run a startup incubator, and had a startup of my own.

I’m currently developing Leona, a smart and private AI harness.

I have a degree in economics and political science from the University of Pittsburgh, a law degree from Wake Forest, and did my graduate work in ECE at Duke, focused on programming, semiconductors, and telecommunications.
