Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIlia Ovsiannikov is a founder and seasoned technology leader based in San Jose, building apps and a platform for intelligent robots using ROS2, ML/AI, Python and embedded firmware. He brings 20+ years of hands-on experience across hardware and software—architecting smartphone neural inference accelerators, designing SoC imaging and LiDAR sensors sold in billions of units, and shipping consumer SLAM-capable robot kits. At Samsung he led the lab that produced world-first depth and RGB-D sensors and later translated that systems expertise into open-source, app-ready robotics platforms and commercial dev kits. A pragmatic inventor with 70+ granted patents, he blends ASIC, embedded, full-stack and cloud skills to bridge silicon to product, and now focuses on monetizing robot experiences via an app store model. An underappreciated strength is his track record of moving bleeding-edge sensor and accelerator IP from lab prototypes into mass-market consumer devices.
