Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarter Mcclellan is an Applied AI engineer with nine years of experience building production ML and back-end systems from startups to cutting-edge AI research at OpenAI. He co-founded and led supercontrast through YC Fall 2024, blending product instincts with hands-on engineering and a focus on deployable AI. Prior roles at Hive and FINESSE honed his expertise in machine learning engineering and operationalizing models in real-world environments. An active open-source contributor, he has made substantive back-end and DevOps contributions to the widely used minio/mc project—adding commands, improving admin tooling, and hardening S3 compatibility. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and dual-trained in computer science and mathematics at UW–Madison, he brings both theoretical rigor and pragmatic systems experience. He also has an eye for craft: his Github bio’s “svgs are cool” hints at a detail-oriented developer who enjoys elegant tooling and developer UX.
