Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKenny Daniel is a founder and AI infrastructure veteran with 14 years of engineering leadership, 20+ years focused on accelerating AI from research to production. He co-founded Algorithmia to pioneer GPU-hosted model serving, helped scale MLOps and deep learning at DataRobot as CTO of MLOps, and today leads Hyperparam building tools to make ML dataset curation orders of magnitude more efficient. Trained in math and CS at Carnegie Mellon and a Ph.D. candidate in AI at USC, he blends rigorous academic foundations with practical product instincts. Kenny is a hands-on builder who contributes to open-source tooling—including cross-cutting full-stack fixes to the popular OpenJSCAD project—demonstrating expertise from serialization and CLI behavior to modeling logic. He excels at turning complex ML infrastructure problems into developer-friendly platforms and repeatedly moves early-stage AI ideas into production and acquisition. Based in Seattle, he asks the pragmatic question that guides his work: "What's not perfect... yet?"
