Julian Schoen, Head of Platform at Echelon AI
We've just raised $4.75m from Bain Capital Ventures to automate IT services with AI Developers.
I'm currently building HyperGen, the fastest image and video generation library—a hybrid between vLLM and Unsloth pushing the boundaries of generative AI performance. (Available soon)
Previously:
- Senior Software Engineer at Chai Research, serving 1.8M+ daily users

I believe:
- Work with relentless intensity toward meaningful outcomes

- Consistent 1% improvements compound into breakthrough results
- Principled decision-making trumps short-term convenience
- Speed of iteration beats perfection of planning
