Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlessya V is an engineering leader and founder who has spent her career bringing production-ready AI systems and observability tooling to large enterprises. As CEO and co-founder of WhyLabs she built an AI observability platform to prevent model failures and drive measurable impact, and now leads engineering at Apple, bridging startup grit with hyperscale product discipline. Her background spans hands-on software and test engineering at Amazon through senior program leadership, giving her uncommon fluency across ML platforms, data infrastructure, and operational reliability. She combines an applied-math foundation and an MS in entrepreneurship to translate research-stage ideas into adopted, widely used tooling—an aptitude she demonstrated as CTO-in-Residence at AI2 vetting multiple AI ventures. Colleagues describe her as mission-driven and pragmatic: she focuses on building toolchains that let teams operate AI responsibly, not just experimentally.
