Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDylan Sherry is a seasoned engineer and founder with 15 years of experience, currently Co-founder and CTO of a stealth agentic AI startup in New York. He led Alteryx’s enterprise AutoML effort—authoring and open-sourcing EvalML, growing the ML org to ~40 engineers and helping the product generate >$1M in year one. At ClosedLoop he brought an LLM- and embedding-powered medical chat app from prototype to the App Store, inventing an automated “LLM as judge” evaluation framework and generating millions of synthetic test examples while standing up safety and human-labeling processes. Dylan combines strategic leadership and team building with hands-on problem solving—he’s comfortable debugging core data stack issues (even rewinding pandas versions to fix tests) and contributing core abstractions like a tuner ABC—and holds an MEng in Computer Science from MIT.
