Zach’s AI & ML Engineering Qualifications

Experience level: Executive

I started my career by founding a quant hedge fund, where we used a variety of ML techniques to build predictive models. Then I founded a YC-backed AI infra startup called Superpowered AI. We built one of the first RAG-as-a-service platforms, where we served over 10k users. I now work as an AI coach and consultant and maintain a popular open-source AI project called dsRAG, which has 1.5k stars on GitHub.

About Zach

I've been working in AI/ML my entire career, first as a quant hedge fund manager and then as a startup founder. I was the founder and CEO of Superpowered AI, which took part in the S22 batch of Y Combinator. We pioneered some cutting-edge RAG techniques and served 10,000+ users. Now I spend most of my time helping startups build state-of-the-art applications with LLMs.

Why do I coach?

I enjoy working with smart, ambitious people who are eager to learn.
