Ramon Axelrod is a seasoned AI researcher and engineering leader with 12+ years building production-grade systems in autonomous navigation, computational geometry and high-resolution 3D modeling. As Co-Founder and CTO at Ikko-health and former Chief Scientist at GeoSim Systems, he blends hands-on performance engineering (notably optimizations to the industry-standard Recast navigation mesh) with system-level design of hi-res acquisition vehicles and distributed real-time systems. His background spans research management, processor architecture, nanofabrication and diffractive optics, enabling him to tackle problems that cross hardware, algorithms and physical measurement. Ramon has repeatedly shipped large-scale, latency-sensitive and synchronized systems—from mobile-network distributed apps to multi-thousand-core processor SDKs—and led AI teams building informed planning and navigation stacks for complex virtual worlds. Based in Israel, he combines strong theoretical training in physics and nanotechnology with practical debugging and performance tuning skills that surface in both research prototypes and production code.
