Caelan Urquhart is a founder and CEO who builds developer-first infrastructure for data teams, currently scaling Pipekit — an Argo Workflows control plane that gets production-ready data and ML pipelines running in days while cutting cloud costs through autoscaling. With six years of hands-on startup experience and a background that spans growth, product marketing, and strategy from roles at Expo, Kite, PlushCare and McKinsey, he blends technical product instincts (Golang, Kubernetes, Argo, TypeScript) with go-to-market savvy. Pipekit’s YC S21 pedigree reflects his ability to move complex orchestration tooling from prototype to customer-ready product quickly. He’s equally comfortable diving into infra details and leading growth initiatives, and he often frames platform decisions around developer productivity and cost-efficiency—helping data scientists get Kubernetes power without months of ops work.
