Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBernhard Hausleitner is a founder and CEO based in San Francisco with five years of hands-on experience building AI-driven software and tooling across startups and major automotive teams. He cut his teeth at BMW transitioning from mechanic to AI research scientist and later contributed to Autopilot and AI tooling at Tesla before founding Soff (YC S24) to help U.S. manufacturers leverage AI to boost revenue. Technically fluent across full-stack and ML domains, he has improved scalability and usability in open-source forecasting tooling such as NeuralProphet by adding multiprocessing, robust logging, and cleaner APIs. His background blends rigorous engineering (MSc from TUM) with leadership training at Stanford, and a practical bias toward shipping production-ready systems informed by real-world automotive and manufacturing constraints.
