Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNatalie Serrino is a Co-Founder and systems engineer based in San Francisco with 10 years building cloud-native observability and edge AI infrastructure. As a founding engineer at Pixie (a CNCF project acquired by New Relic) she led backend and database work—implementing streaming agent-update APIs, hardening the query broker, adding cluster-aware Kubernetes integrations, and evolving schemas to make debugging more reliable. Her Stanford visiting scholar research applied eBPF and Kubernetes to profile distributed ML workloads, and she now focuses on simplifying on-device inference to speed deployment of foundation models and vision transformers. A repeat founder with roles at Observe and as an EIR at Benchmark, she pairs startup grit with deep systems expertise and a Brown computer engineering foundation to move complex ML and observability ideas into production.
