Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKyle Kosic is a builder and full-stack site reliability engineer with nine years of experience designing scalable, automated distributed systems for AI and HPC. He has driven infrastructure and reliability work at OpenAI and co-founded xAI to lead infrastructure during early product development, and now builds at a stealth startup in San Francisco. With a strong foundation in mathematics and machine learning (MS CS, Georgia Tech; BS in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics), he blends rigorous quantitative thinking with practical engineering. An active open-source contributor, Kyle improved Rust bindings for TensorFlow—fixing memory issues and adding op-list parsing—to make core ML tooling more robust. He favors systems-level work in Rust and has a track record of shipping production-grade, performance-sensitive components across startups and research-driven organizations.
