About Keila D.

I am an AI entrepreneur and data professional with more than 15 years of international experience across the United States, Russia, and India. My academic journey started with a degree in Computer Science at Moscow State University, followed by a Master’s in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. My career began at Space Adventures as a Technical Operations Analyst, where I applied my skills in mathematics and computing to support mission planning and technical operations in the commercial space industry. In 2012, I joined Intel in California as a Data Analyst, focusing on manufacturing data and performance optimization. Two years later, I relocated to Bangalore, India, through an internal mobility program. That year gave me direct exposure to working in one of Intel’s largest global R&D hubs, collaborating with engineers on predictive models and supply chain analytics. After taking two years off for personal reasons, I returned to Intel in 2018 as a Data Scientist in the Artificial Intelligence Group. I worked on machine learning models for computer vision and natural language processing, optimizing algorithms for Intel hardware, and contributing to solutions that eventually scaled into enterprise and cloud products. In 2023, I founded my own AI startup in Los Angeles. My mission is to bridge the gap between advanced AI research and practical business adoption, with a focus on industries like manufacturing and telecommunications. I believe technology should create real impact, and I am passionate about building solutions and teams that make artificial intelligence accessible and valuable worldwide.

   In 2023, after five years of working in Intel’s Artificial Intelligence Group, I decided to take the leap into entrepreneurship. During my time at Intel I saw how powerful AI can be when applied to computer vision, natural language processing, and cloud solutions, but I also noticed the gap between advanced research and real-world adoption. That realization inspired me to start my own company.My startup is focused on building practical AI solutions for industries like manufacturing and telecommunications. As Founder and CEO, I lead product vision, fundraising, and team development. What excites me most is building a group of people who share the same belief that AI should not just be a lab experiment but a tool that creates tangible value. Our mission is to bridge the gap between research and business, and to make artificial intelligence accessible and impactful on a global scale.
