Marvin Bornstein is a pragmatic engineering leader and founder with 11 years of experience building data-driven products and operational AI from concept to production. As Co-Founder and CTO at a YC-backed startup and a multi-role veteran of Palantir, he combines hands-on engineering—UI design, backend architecture and algorithms—with product thinking to scale bespoke customer wins into reusable products like Foundry Rules. He has led cross-functional teams for large clients across bio-medicals, transportation, media and utilities, repeatedly moving from data integration to algorithmic optimization and automation. Comfortable across security, ML and distributed data engineering, he also has a track record of mentoring hires, interviewing extensively and contributing to patents. Based in London, he brings both academic depth from HPI/ETH experiences and a penchant for turning complex operational processes into low-code tools that empower non-technical users.
