Ori Kotek is an AI Architect with 12 years of experience designing and shipping large-scale AI and computer vision systems across startups and global R&D labs. He led ML architecture and inference platform optimization at Alibaba’s Israel lab, driving a 5X cost reduction through heterogeneous scaling, observability, and automated black-box tuning. A hands-on leader, Ori built real-time AR SLAM engines and edge inference modules—delivering production mobile AR and cloud services used at scale—and cofounded an AR startup that shipped consumer hardware. Currently at Qodo he contributes to AI tooling and open-source projects like PR-Agent, integrating complex API and deployment workflows. His background blends academic rigor from Technion with deep systems engineering in high-throughput, resource-constrained environments, and an unusual strength is translating research-grade algorithms into cost-efficient, cloud-native production systems.
