Charlie Holtz is the founder of Melty, where he's building AI tools for developers who think differently. Creator of Conductor, an agent orchestration tool that enables parallel AI workflows, Charlie is pioneering new ways for developers to leverage multiple AI agents simultaneously. Previously a Hacker in Residence at Replicate, he's known for building experimental tools that push boundaries (including one that "accidentally struck fear into the heart of Hollywood"). Before joining the SF tech scene, Charlie worked in quantitative finance at Point72. When he's not revolutionizing developer workflows, you'll find him lifting weights, flying planes (40 hours into pilot training), or writing Elixir code.
