Sander Schulhoff is a CEO and founder with 7 years of hands-on experience building and scaling AI products and open-source education platforms from San Francisco. He co-founded Learn Prompting—a community-driven resource with over 1.2M users and 100+ contributors—and now leads multiple ventures focused on NLP and reinforcement learning. His background blends academic NLP/DRL research at University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins with production engineering contributions to widely used RL toolkits like OpenAI Gym and PettingZoo. Technically fluent in prompting, DRL (PPO/VPG), and test automation, he has shipped RL-based pricing systems and developer-facing documentation for major repos. Notably, he pairs founder-level strategy with deep technical authorship, often moving between research prototypes and community-facing education.
