Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLuke Marsden is a veteran technology leader and founder with 12+ years building AI/ML, infrastructure and distributed systems from ideation to production. As CEO of HelixML and founder of MLOps Consulting (and previously Dotscience), he blends product strategy, hands-on engineering and go-to-market experience to make GenAI and MLOps accessible and deployable for enterprises. He has deep systems expertise across containers, CI/CD, storage, networking and blockchain, and has contributed to notable open-source projects like Pachyderm and Protocol Labs’ Bacalhau—optimizing CI/CD and adding RPC-driven backend features. Comfortable toggling between CEO, CTO and senior engineer roles, he focuses on developer experience and reproducible, version-controlled ML workflows. Based in London with an Oxford CS degree, he’s as likely to be debugging a Kubernetes build cache as he is shaping product-market fit for AI platforms. An under-the-radar strength is his track record of translating low-level systems improvements into measurable engineering velocity and cost reductions for teams.
