Top SchoolRichard He is a San Francisco–based founder and engineer with a decade of experience building AI-first products and infrastructure, currently co-founding two startups focused on applying large models and embeddings to real-world operations and local business data. He led ML feature engineering and large-scale simulation efforts at companies like Pinterest and Cruise, then transitioned to startups where he architects AI workforces and tools for querying unstructured web and government data. A Rice computer science and statistics graduate and YC W24 alum, he combines product intuition from early-stage roles (founder-in-residence, venture partner, scout) with hands-on ML/LLM engineering. Notably, his background spans both production simulation systems and cutting-edge embeddings work, positioning him to bridge research-grade models and operational deployments.
