Calin Ilie is a product-focused engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building software across startups and large enterprises, currently shaping product at Refute. A First Class Computer Science graduate from the University of Manchester, he has shipped services at bet365, Improbable and THG, blending backend engineering with a strong curiosity for electronics and 3D design. Known on GitHub as a maker, breaker and hacker, he brings a pragmatic tinkerer’s mindset to product problems—prototyping hardware-adjacent solutions as easily as backend features. Based in Manchester, he pairs fast iteration and production reliability with a knack for spotting practical UX and operational improvements that aren’t obvious from specs alone.
