Ilia S.

Hi there, I'm Ilya! I’m usually most useful when the technical problem isn’t completely figured out yet. You have a product idea but the architecture is unclear? Your existing system has become messy? You need to connect several services, introduce AI into a product, or get something difficult over the finish line? That’s the kind of work I'm good at. I help teams take complex technical problems, and turn them into working products. My job is to figure out what actually needs to be built, explain the options and trade-offs in plain English, and take ownership of getting the solution implemented. I work across: * AI products, agents, and automation * SaaS platforms * Backend systems and APIs * Complex integrations * Voice, telephony, and real-time systems * Web and mobile applications * E-commerce * Architecture and technical product decisions I’m comfortable going deep technically, but I try not to make technology feel more complicated than it needs to be. We can start with the business problem, work through the gray zones, and figure out the right approach together. I’m also happy stepping into existing products — whether you need someone to untangle a difficult system, lead a technical initiative, or simply take responsibility for making something work. If I know the answer, I’ll tell you. If I don’t, I’ll figure it out. Best, Ilya.
