About Tyler Temple

Founder & CEO, Pollentia Inc.

Tyler Temple is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pollentia Inc., an AI marine technology company building the brain of the sea — a unified intelligence system that powers next-generation vessels across the recreational, commercial, industrial, and defense sectors.

A U.S. Navy veteran, systems engineer, and software developer, Tyler has transformed an idea born at sea into a pioneering movement in marine intelligence — rethinking how vessels operate, communicate, and learn. Pollentia isn’t just making boats smarter; it’s building the operating system for the ocean.

Technical Foundation

Military Experience
Served aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, earning qualifications in damage control, aviation systems, and electrical maintenance.
Specialized in emergency systems, control room operations, and high-pressure diagnostics — experiences that shaped his obsession with reliability, safety, and system simplicity.

Systems & Electrical Engineering
Experience in marine and aviation-grade systems design, from circuit integrity and control interface development to modular powertrain and sensor integration.
Focused on translating complex systems into simple, intelligent architectures that reduce human error and operational load.

AI & Cyber Systems
Architect behind Pollentia OS and the AI Co-Captain — a neural intelligence core that fuses navigation, diagnostics, autonomy, and cybersecurity into one adaptive network.
Background in AI security, swarm coordination, and predictive maintenance for defense-grade applications.

Software & Product Development
Proficient in full-stack systems, embedded logic, and ROS architecture.
Personally led the development of Pollentia’s onboard interface, performance data layer, and secure OTA (over-the-air) update network.

Leadership Philosophy

Tyler leads with empathy and precision. He believes great technology starts with listening — to engineers, partners, and the people who rely on it every day. Pollentia was built around a culture of integrity, creativity, and shared ownership, where every idea matters and every problem has a human face.

He doesn’t view himself as just a CEO, but as part of the team — someone who asks hard questions, learns alongside his people, and pushes boundaries together. Every decision is guided by the belief that innovation should simplify life, not complicate it.

“We’re not here to add more systems to an already complex world — we’re here to make intelligence invisible, seamless, and human. The ocean deserves a smarter future, and we’re building it.”
