Summary
Ilia Batii is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient, high-throughput systems and developer tooling across startups and product teams. Based in London, he has deep hands-on expertise in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD automation and secrets management from roles as a founding engineer at Zamna and earlier technical lead positions. He combines backend and full‑stack chops—shipping secure production services, payment- and signup-critical flows, and data-driven features such as ML-powered pricing—in Python, Django, React and AWS. More recently he contributes to the Starknet ecosystem as a freelance contributor, bringing his infrastructure-first mindset to blockchain projects. Notably, Ilia has a track record of turning fragile systems into observable, testable platforms (introducing CI, containerisation and monitoring at scale) and of delivering polished consumer-facing apps like an event-driven iOS audio tour built with Swift and Combine. His background in applied mathematics and long experience debugging production incidents inform a pragmatic approach to reliable system design.
