Summary
Gunnar Mein is a seasoned software engineer, manager, and co-founder with over three decades of hands-on experience spanning systems, compilers, databases, machine learning, and STEM education. Trained in physics and recently graduated from UC Berkeley’s MIDS program, he blends deep technical breadth—Java, Python, C#, SQL and low-level systems—with a passion for teaching and organizational design. At Microsoft he led performance engineering for the CLR, founded strategic recruiting and senior technical community programs, and managed product teams through acquisitions and shipping storage and sync systems. He later pivoted to education, teaching advanced computer science, coaching robotics, and even restoring lab-grade equipment, and now co-leads together.science to modernize STEM learning at scale. Comfortable shifting between high-level strategy and line-by-line implementation, Gunnar is equally adept at recruiting top talent, architecting systems, and mentoring the next generation of technologists.
