Lit area: one person’s 120° field of view
No one sees the whole site.
VistaKai Technologies is building safety intelligence that goes where the work goes — bringing EHS practice into the AI era, and designed around the people doing the job.
Our purpose: protect human lives
How we build
Recognition, not surveillance
Technology in this space can raise people up or it can watch them. We are building the first kind: the value is in helping a crew see more, and in crediting the people who speak up.
Trust is a design constraint
Nobody is helped by a system the workforce does not trust. Privacy, consent and transparency shape what we build from the start, rather than getting bolted on once something ships.
Shaped by practitioners
Built with safety professionals who have spent careers in the field, around the way safety work actually gets done — not the way software wishes it did.
Sell it to safety. Design it for the person doing the work.

Don Balanzat
Co-Founder & CTO/COO
Physicist, human-factors engineer, and a hands-on builder across computer vision, machine learning and real-time 3D. Don’s approach is human-centered: the technology follows the person, not the other way around. Don led emerging-technology engineering at Blue Origin, building the XR and AI systems behind spacecraft design and training, along with the governance for what those systems could do with sensitive data. Don has built for NASA Goddard, taught XR and AI on the graduate faculty at Arizona State, holds an M.S. in Human Factors, and runs the studio Chaotic Curiosity.
