Senior🎓
Top SchoolGalen Marchetti is a founder and CEO with 11 years of engineering experience who blends a physics-and-computer-science background from Cornell with hands-on systems and data engineering. He co-founded Kurtosis (rebranded to Astrobee) to build AI agents and automation that clean and curate messy source data into reusable assets and insights, leading product and go-to-market while shipping open-source tooling. Earlier, as a Forward Deployed Engineer at Palantir he delivered full‑stack data processing and analytics across commercial and government domains and is named on related patents. Galen also contributes to large open-source infrastructure projects—his CI/CD and Docker automation work for the AvalancheGo project shows a focus on resilient testing and deployment at scale. Comfortable toggling between low-level scripting and strategic company building, he brings scientific rigor and a maker’s mentality to operationalizing complex data workflows. Based in New York, he’s equally at home optimizing test pipelines as he is articulating product visions for data-first automation.
