Ivan Alles is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with a decades-long engineering pedigree spanning embedded automotive systems, backend infrastructure, robotics and computer vision. He pioneered the introduction of deep learning into manufacturing—founding Urobots to turn novel CV and DL research into production systems that raised quality inspection and robotic perception to industry-first standards. Ivan combines hands-on low-level programming experience from the 90s with modern ML practice, able to reduce complex vision and robotics projects from months to days via user-friendly tooling. His career is marked by pragmatic innovation—using deep learning to rescue a project at 99.99% recognition accuracy—and a talent for reframing problems through multiple technical lenses. An introvert who prefers deep focus, he balances solitary technical craft with leadership, continuously sharpening skills in languages, marketing and communication to scale impact. Based in the Stuttgart region, he now leads CASABLANCA.AI while staying actively engaged in applied research and productization of ML-driven automation.
