Top SchoolJared Rhizor is a San Francisco–based founder and engineer with 12 years building AI-powered SaaS and data infrastructure. As a founding engineer at Airbyte he helped design sync orchestration, built major connectors and enabled Kubernetes-based scaling, and at LiveRamp he led a team that halved RAM for an 80TB Giraph app and sped up device-graph updates threefold. He’s launched multiple startups—Stoat, MealByMeal (sold for 3x revenue), Amor, poach.vc—and now runs Elmo to help brands understand how LLMs interact with the web. A summa cum laude computer science graduate with NASA and robotics research experience, he pairs deep systems and data engineering chops with product-first startup instincts and active open-source contributions (github.com/jrhizor).
