Senior🎓
Top SchoolTyler Richie is a software engineer and machine learning expert with 11 years of experience building teams and shipping production AI systems from early-stage startups to scale. He co-founded and served as CTO of SproutFi (YC S21), led a crypto payments engineering organization at TenX and was the first ML hire at Nubank where he built core production models, data infrastructure, and the initial data science team. Tyler has hands-on experience applying ML to high-stakes domains—from automated customer service and credit decisioning to a deployed high-frequency trading strategy for Bitcoin futures. He excels at recruiting and scaling distributed engineering teams (25 engineers across four continents) and driving cloud migrations and CI/CD foundations. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he blends entrepreneurial product instincts with deep technical craft and a track record of turning research-grade NLP into practical, revenue-driving systems. An unexpected thread through his career is a foundation in music, reflecting a pattern-oriented mindset he brings to modeling and systems design.
