Summary
Orel Balilti is a Principal Engineer and AI-focused software architect based in Tel Aviv with 12+ years designing cloud-native, data-intensive systems and 7 years in senior industry roles. He specializes in agentic and self-evolving AI systems—having built multi-agent architectures, long-context mechanisms, and SLM fine-tuning pipelines that measurably improved accuracy and reduced time-to-first-touch across heterogeneous hardware. Orel has led hyperscale cloud platforms and migrations at AWS and ZoomInfo, architecting event-driven, DDD-aligned platforms that processed 10M+ events/hour and standardized department-wide SLAs and CI/CD practices. He’s a practiced public speaker (featured at AWS re:Invent) who moves research into production, optimizing inference stacks with vLLM/LiteLLM and benchmarking agent releases with LangFuse. Known for driving Spec-Driven Development and AI-coding adoption, he blends deep engineering craft with strategic leadership to accelerate delivery across large, cross-functional teams. An open-source enthusiast and former CTO, he uniquely pairs hands-on low-level performance tuning with high-level architectural governance.
