Senior🎓
Top SchoolKerem Goksel is an NLP engineer, researcher, and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building production-grade AI systems and developer tools. A Stanford-trained Symbolic Systems and CS alumnus, he led core infrastructure work at Stanford (Codalab Worksheets) before moving into industry roles at Microsoft, Essential AI, and Pulley where he focused on applied NLP and scalable ML services. Now a co-founder based in Oakland, he combines deep research experience from MSR/Semantic Machines with practical software engineering to ship resilient, distributed systems. An experienced public speaker (TEDx Reset, Digital HR), he has a rare blend of classroom teaching, research leadership, and hands-on forward-deployed engineering from internships at Palantir and Facebook. He’s comfortable bridging research and product—designing fault-tolerant workload managers as well as pragmatic AI features—and often frames problems through both symbolic and statistical lenses.
