Summary
👤
SeniorGeorge Ilie is a pragmatic engineering leader and serial founder with over a decade of professional experience building web and IoT products from prototype to market. As Head of Engineering at Waldo.ai he designed scalable architectures and built the infrastructure that enabled a four-month concept-to-market launch, and his entrepreneurial experience includes founding civic-tech and SaaS ventures since 2008. Rooted in a developer-first mindset—writing his first game at 15 and betting early on JavaScript and the MEAN stack—he blends front-end craftsmanship (SVG, touch interactions) with backend systems and IoT integrations. Unusually, his background includes hands-on lessons from casino work that informed a probabilistic, data-driven approach to product and ML strategy. He’s comfortable toggling between coding, architecture, and company-building, and has a track record of turning unusual technical experiments into production features.
