Summary
👤
SeniorBen Gitter is an Open Source Researcher and founder with 11 years of experience building practical AI systems, currently based in Charlotte, NC. He combines hands-on engineering—architecting the first OpenAI-compliant tool-calling implementation in an inference engine (TabbyAPI)—with leadership roles in data science and startup operations. Ben builds LLM subs and distributed inference tooling, collaborating on RL sandboxes and malleable models that leverage local hardware. His background spans enterprise ML at Lockheed Martin, legal-industry data science leadership, and founding Stratalink, reflecting a mix of research, production deployment, and productization. Collected around exploratory data analysis and pragmatic open-source contributions, he positions himself as a “digital general contractor” who connects models, infrastructure, and real-world workflows.
