Axel Reichwein is a Principal Software Engineer and serial founder based in San Francisco, combining 20+ years of technical depth with 13 years of hands-on industry experience building AI-driven, full-stack systems. He has founded and led multiple companies—Koneksys, TraceLynx, Product Map—delivering integrations and tools for clients like NASA JPL, Airbus, Raytheon and Boeing, and pioneered OSLC-based lifecycle integrations using knowledge graphs and graph neural networks. Axel excels at turning complex engineering ecosystems into practical, auditable solutions: he’s built ML pipelines and LLM-assisted metadata extraction at scale, architected cross-domain toolchains for MBSE, and shipped production web apps with robust cloud infrastructure. As a mentor and leader he scales teams and productivity quickly, often prototyping end-to-end products within months and raising data quality from the 70s to mid-90s via targeted processes. Unusually for an engineer of his profile, his background spans deep academic research (PhD in aerospace engineering and MBSE) to pragmatic startup productization, making him fluent across modeling, ML, and developer ergonomics.
