Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRany Keddo is a seasoned AI and engineering leader with 18 years of experience building production-scale ML and data systems, best known for authoring the recommender platform that drove millions of extra listening hours at SoundCloud. He blends deep research engineering in audio, TTS and music ML with hands-on product delivery—leading teams that shipped commercial voice synthesis, an open-source audio alignment library, and a cloud dubbing collaboration platform. As CEO of voicelayer and former CTO at RAIN, he couples founder-level execution with enterprise modernization experience across logistics, finance and digital trading. Rany has a track record of moving companies to cloud-native data platforms, initiating analytics practices, and turning prototypes into revenue-generating products. Based in Berlin, he combines a formal background in music with pragmatic ML engineering, often bridging signal processing, DSP and scalable ML training pipelines. Less obvious: many of his infrastructure and tooling choices (including open-sourced migration and alignment tools) were adopted by peers and downstream teams, reflecting an emphasis on reusable, production-ready engineering.
