Top SchoolHenry Steinitz is a software engineer and mathematician with 10 years of experience building distributed systems, backend services, and data-driven optimization tools across startups and large tech firms. He currently contributes to production systems at Hyperscience after designing cloud load balancing and distributed infrastructure at Google and working on flight schedule optimization and full-stack platforms at Wheels Up and Factr/Factr. Trained in mathematics (University of Chicago, NYU), he blends rigorous theoretical interests—differential geometry, theoretical neuroscience, and differentiable programming—with practical engineering to bridge research and production. He also co-founded Give, a nonprofit delivering privately-funded universal basic income, demonstrating applied problem-solving beyond pure engineering. Comfortable across React, Node.js, Django, and large-scale distributed architectures, he brings a rare mix of formal math perspective and hands-on system design. Based in New York, he pursues intersections of math, neuro, and AI that inform both product and algorithmic decisions.
