Top SchoolMyles Scolnick is a pragmatic engineering leader and Co-Founder/CTO with 12 years of experience building data-first products and web platforms from Palantir to startup scale. He architects and ships full-stack systems—bridging Python backends and polished JavaScript UIs—while leading product development for marimo, an AI-native reactive Python notebook that he helped evolve through front- and back-end contributions. His background includes leading web platform efforts at CloudKitchens and founding-team engineering at QuoteWell, giving him a strong mix of operational rigor and rapid-product instincts. Comfortable in both research-adjacent and production settings, he pairs a UC Berkeley CS & Math foundation with hands-on contributions (testing integrations for matplotlib and pyarrow, UI/UX fixes, and widget enhancements) that keep tooling reliable and reproducible. Based in New York, he likes to make data tangible—turning notebooks and experiments into deployable apps and repeatable workflows.
