Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Ker is an engineering and go-to-market leader focused on building AI that tackles meta-problems—platforms and products that multiply impact when adopted by traditional industries. With nine years of experience spanning startups, venture fellowships, and machine learning roles, he founded and scaled P-ai.org, mentoring 500+ students and managing 45+ technical projects while placing talent into companies like Meta and Amazon. Alex combines hands-on ML and backend experience from Neurable and LaunchDarkly with venture-side insight from fellowships at 8VC, Bessemer, Bloomberg Beta and others, informing a rare mix of product, technical, and investing fluency. He currently drives engineering + GTM at Baseten while advising and investing as a venture partner, and he experiments independently on growth/engineering ideas. Beyond engineering, he teaches and writes—designing curricula, leading office hours at MITx, and editing industry briefs for Stanford HAI—bringing a talent-first approach to building AI teams. An unlikely personal touch: he refuels creativity by cooking varied omelettes and keeping a meticulous reading list on Goodreads.
