Andy Kitchen is an AI researcher, consultant, and serial founder with 14 years of experience translating neuroscience-inspired ideas into practical machine learning products. Based in Berlin, he has led AI teams and startups—from founding Cortical Labs to heading AI research at CliniCloud—and most recently consults freelance after a product-focused stint at Explosion. His background blends deep learning engineering and data science with formal training in computational mathematics (RMIT), giving him both theoretical rigor and production-first instincts. He’s comfortable moving between hands-on model development, product strategy, and advising engineering teams on deployment and product-market fit. An unusual mix of film/television training and computation suggests he thinks visually about data and interfaces, helping bridge research, UX, and engineering.
