Summary

Vlad Gheorghe is an AI engineer in Berlin who builds LLM systems for investment research at BIT Capital, where he was hired in 2026 as the fund's first AI Engineer. He started in computational social science, with a Lagrange research fellowship at the ISI Foundation in Turin running network analysis over a 120-million-publication database, then spent five years as a data engineer at PPRO, Choco, and Delivery Hero, building cloud platforms that processed billions of rows a day. At BIT Capital he owns the fund's AI strategy: research agents, evaluation loops, and the data tooling behind Human+AI investing.

He writes at vlad.build and ships open-source tools including selfOS, a kit for building personal data infrastructure.
