Top SchoolRachel Weems is a Head of Engineering with eight years of progressive experience building and leading teams across early-stage startups and scaleups, currently based in New York.

At Knit she’s helping define Researcher-Driven AI that augments rather than replaces human researchers, translating complex data into narrative-ready insights for brands like Amazon and Mars.

Collected, pragmatic, and product-focused, Rachel blends backend engineering depth with a talent for scaling teams and systems quickly.
