Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRayan K is a startup-founder and engineer with a decade of experience building AI systems and evaluations, currently co-founding Vals AI in San Francisco to "solve evals, solve intelligence." He combines hands-on machine learning research from Stanford AI Lab—where he worked with leaders like Andrew Ng and Pranav Rajpurkar—with practical engineering stints at Palantir and multiple roles at Microsoft focused on AI platforms and ONNX. Comfortable moving between research and product, he has deep exposure to reinforcement learning (including study at Oxford) and medical/ML collaborations through SAIL. Rayan’s background reflects a pattern of short, high-impact engagements and internships that rapidly scaled into founding a company, suggesting an operator who prototypes fast and iterates with research-grade rigor. He holds BS and MS degrees in Computer Science from Stanford and brings both academic pedigree and industry execution to AI evaluation and alignment challenges.
