Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFilip Iliescu is a technical leader and full-stack engineer with nearly a decade of focused experience delivering AI-driven, real-time graphics and mixed-reality systems across startups and top-tier companies including Apple, Unity, Magic Leap, Niantic, and Inworld. He combines hands-on C++/Python development in Unreal and Unity with cloud-native microservice deployments and multimodal agent workflows, often operating at the intersection of generative AI, rendering, and interactive entertainment. As founder of Dream Awake Solutions and former CTO/founder roles, he builds and advises teams on scalable R&D pipelines, agent-based architectures, and edge-deployed client apps for Web, native, and Unreal platforms. Based in California, he brings deep platform experience—from Metal/OpenGL tooling to next-gen rendering and XR integration—and a pragmatic streak for turning prototypes into production. A less obvious strength is his track record mentoring engineering teams and driving developer adoption efforts, blending technical depth with product and partner-facing leadership.
