Zeta Alpha is connecting NEURAL search and LLMs to build the next generation ENTERPRISE AI platform.
 

Founder, Technologist, Entrepreneur. Fell in love with AI some 30 years ago. Founder and former CEO of Textkernel. Building a new long lasting, prosperous, and global AI company with a very ambitious goal is what he loves to do. When he is not working or with family, you can find him listening to live music, enjoying a crafty cocktail, running, rowing, or tending to his rooftop garden.

With a Computer Science degree and startup engineering experience from Belo Horizonte, Arthur adds to our Brazilian section in the low countries. A PhD Candidate in the Lambda lab at Delft University, he is interested in (deep) IR, NLP and Search-as-Learning. He is into video games, rockets and food, plus he's a dedicated father to small multi-lingual language models at home as well as big ones in the lab.

Eduardo is a former physics researcher turned Data Scientist and Data Engineer. He loves complex systems, but maybe even more to make complex things simple. Somehow more attached to Haarlem than to Amsterdam, he has also been bitten recently by the Zeta Alpha running craze, and has successfully completed the Dam tot Dam loop. Sometime he looks sentimental when Mexican food is discussed.

Irina combines strategic marketing with hands-on creative execution. She is an experienced marketing and communications leader with a strong track record in translating complex technical products into clear, compelling stories. She leads our marketing efforts for a European AI startup building secure and customizable enterprise search solutions for expertise-intensive industrial companies.

Arjen is passionate about leveraging technology to create a meaningful impact, which he has done before in the solar energy industry.  The only one on the team that was born and raised in Amsterdam, surprisingly, Arjen is a graduate from Erasmus University Rotterdam. Apart from in your email inbox, you might find Arjen on hikes, football fields, or padel courts.

Mathias did his Master's thesis internship at Zeta Alpha and decided to stay on as a research engineer. No problem is too difficult for him, and he simply enjoys training very large models.

In his spare time he compensates for that by running very large distances. 

 

Knowledgeable about almost any aspect of AI and Search R&D, and over a decade of experience building enterprise search systems, Vincent works on the optimization of Zeta Alpha's search engine and advanced AI agents, and to finetune the latest neural models for our customers. Vincent holds a Master's degree in AI from the University of Groningen and joined Zeta Alpha after leading the search and R&D team at Textkernel.

Batu's work at Zeta Alpha is focused on multimodal systems aspects of information retrieval, and efficient deployment of vision-language models. He completed his MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam on Efficient Visual Document Retrieval while doing his internship at Zeta Alpha, and spoke about this work at OpenSearchCon.

Fernando spent some time in academia while completing his PhD in theoretical physics, and afterwards  made a switch to industry in order to follow his lifelong passion for technology. He now focuses on software architecture of distributed systems, data engineering, MLOps, and cloud infrastructure.

A graduate of Electrical and Computer engineering at the NTU Athens, Pavlos is working on multi-document sum- marries using LLMs at Zeta Alpha and for his Master's thesis in AI at Leiden University. Already an accomplished software engineer, he is also contributing to the core development of our neural discovery platform. In his spare time,  Pavlos enjoys Crossfit, Music, and reading books on software engineering methodology. 

While still studying for a MSc in Computer Science and AI at the University of Amsterdam, and serving as a core member of the Dutch Nao (robot football) team, Mark is helping Zeta Alpha with backend Software Engineering in various parts of the platform.
