Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaksym Petyak is a Berlin-based co-founder and software engineer with 12 years of experience building AI-driven products and early-stage startups. He has led product and engineering efforts at Luminovo, helped scale teams through a pre-seed growth phase, and co-founded Tendara—an AI platform for winning public tenders that was acquired by Altura. Currently he’s launching Needle, a “self-driving ATS for founders,” blending product insight with hands-on implementation. Maksym contributes to open-source scientific tooling, notably improving plotting and signal-processing in the hyperspy multidimensional analysis library, reflecting a strong background in data and ML. Trained at the University of Oxford (MSc Computer Science), he pairs academic rigour with entrepreneurial grit and a knack for turning research-grade code into user-facing features. Less obvious: he moves comfortably between deep learning consulting and product engineering, making him effective at shipping both prototypes and production systems.
