Sci.STEPS published an interview with Mark Reinke, co-founder and AI engineer at scienceOS, about his transition from jazz pianist and music teacher to computer scientist and AI engineer. In the conversation, Mark talks about his interdisciplinary journey and how this shaped his interest in building tools for retrieving and organizing scientific knowledge.
The interview also explores the founding of scienceOS with co‑founders André and Henri, including past experiences building search technology and the decision to grow scienceOS through early user engagement rather than investor funding. Mark highlights how this approach keeps the team focused on real research workflows and software that matters for researchers, and how AI now helps them move from code to product much faster while staying closer to scientific needs.
