Wesley Penn is a founder and software engineer with nine years of experience building AI/ML and cloud systems, most recently as an SDE on AWS focusing on AI/ML and computer vision before launching a stealth startup in San Francisco. He holds both a BSE in Computer Science and an MSE in Robotics from the University of Pennsylvania, blending rigorous academic robotics research at the GRASP Modular Robotics Lab with production engineering at AWS. His background spans low-level cloud work on EC2, applied ML systems, and fast-paced engineering roles at startups, demonstrating an ability to move ideas from research prototypes to scalable production services. Wesley’s cross-domain experience means he understands both the constraints of large distributed systems and the experimental agility of research-driven robotics. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who brings research curiosity to pragmatic product decisions—a useful trait for leading a stealth venture that likely combines robotics and ML. Based in the Bay Area, he pairs technical depth with entrepreneurial ambition.
