Srulik Astrachan

I'm a co-founder and CTO, building a company in the LLM space. Twice before, I joined as one of the first engineers — at Qwak and Hypernative — before there was much to inherit, when someone still had to decide how the whole thing would get built. Both went on to scale. I went deep on infrastructure and data but never settled into one layer: some days meant dropping from the cloud setup into a slow Postgres query, others climbing up into the model. For most of my career I built the layer beneath the product. After Hypernative I went independent to build the products themselves — end to end, from architecture to frontend.
