Myles Scolnick is a Co-Founder and CTO with 11 years of experience building data-first developer tools and web platforms, currently leading marimo, a reactive AI-native Python notebook for reproducible experiments and app deployment. He’s a hands-on full-stack engineer, contributing Python backends and modern JavaScript UIs—shipping features like matplotlib and pyarrow testing, anywidget enhancements, and nuanced editor cell actions. His prior roles include leading engineering at CloudKitchens, founding-team engineering at QuoteWell, and multi-year senior engineering at Palantir where he co-created products such as Workshop, Hubble, and Foundry Objects. A UC Berkeley CS & Math graduate, he pairs engineering rigor with an unusual early-career background in immunology research and tutoring, which surfaces in his focus on reproducibility, explainability, and developer education. His GitHub invites users to "pip install marimo" and follow the tutorial, reflecting a product-minded approach to making data tangible and easy to explore.
A reactive notebook for Python — run reproducible experiments, query with SQL, execute as a script, deploy as an app, and version with git. All in a modern, AI-native editor.
