About Ilia

15 years of experience in hardware and software engineering - from hands-on hardware work at IBM to software engineering leadership at Deutsche Bank.

Background in complex systems, risk management, software delivery, hands-on enterprise hardware work and prior business experience. This gives me a rare mix of skills at the intersection of SW, HW and business.

Business Strategy

I have a natural instinct for navigation, both in the real world and in business. Reinforced by previous experience

Business Ownership

Launched a clothing brand from the ground up, covering everything from concept development to team building and supplier management.

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

I work across AI, with a particular interest in world models and embodied AI. This has been a longstanding passion of mine since childhood. I’ve applied it professionally in areas such as RAG systems for organizations and workflow automation. My deepest interest, however, has always been in cutting-edge, research-level AI.

Robotics

Although I don’t have a formal degree in robotics, it has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, alongside AI. That interest was first sparked by the droids in Star Wars when I was a kid, and I’ve pursued it ever since, mostly through experimentation in simulation environments.

Computer Vision

Used it in previous project, working on a system to detect FPV-drones. Built a simple demonstrator at home, with Arduino, webcam and a few servo-motors.
