Summary
Ashe Magalhaes is a founder and machine learning engineer with 11 years of experience building data-driven products and teams from research to production in the Bay Area. Currently leading Hearth AI, Ashe previously managed engineering at Schmidt Futures where they helped architect the Rise tech stack that supported $50M in funding decisions, and built high-impact ML systems at Civis that guided seven-figure media allocations and forecasting. Their background spans top-tier tech and research organizations—Apple, Airbnb, NASA, Stanford PACS—and includes hands-on systems work from telemetry for a solar race car to automated geolocation tools for astronaut photography. Comfortable at the intersection of product, policy, and philanthropy, Ashe blends technical depth (MS in AI) with operational experience scaling ML workflows and advising impact-focused funds. Notably, they pair experimental, high-octane engineering instincts with a track record of translating models into real-world resource allocation and policy tools.
