Top SchoolHayden Housen is a Co-Founder and CTO with 11 years of engineering experience, currently building Sonauto (YC W24), an AI music editor that converts prompts, lyrics, or melodies into full songs. Trained in computer science at Cornell, he blends hands-on ML research—publishing at NeurIPS—and practical production engineering from roles at Vocode and Ada, where he optimized intent classification and multilingual pipelines. Comfortable across Python, PyTorch, FastAPI, and full-stack stacks, he has demonstrated impact by improving model accuracy with minimal data and shipping latency-conscious voice automation systems. Based in Ithaca, he pairs academic rigor in NLP and transformers with startup execution, and brings an unusual mix of cybersecurity/CTF experience and music-AI product vision to building generative audio tools.
