Summary
Gabriel Petersson is a pragmatic software engineer and early-stage builder with 7 years of experience shipping high-performance, user-facing systems from startup founder projects to research at OpenAI. He’s driven product-grade frontends and data-heavy UIs—most notably as a founding engineer at Dataland where he engineered millisecond-scale UI interactions over millions of rows—and has since applied those skills to generative image tooling at Midjourney and AGI-focused work at OpenAI. Comfortable across React/TypeScript, Python, WebRTC and scalable backend systems, he repeatedly shows an ability to take products from prototype to production under tight timelines (e.g., a kitchen system deployed in three months as Interim CTO). Equally entrepreneurial, he started multiple ventures as a teen and led an AI club in high school, indicating a long-standing knack for spotting product opportunities and teaching others. Based in San Francisco, he combines hands-on engineering with research-minded curiosity and a track record of solving performance and UX challenges at scale.
