About
A little
about me.
I’m Danila. I work in Research & Special Projects at ElevenLabs.
My three bets are voice AI, robots and spatial intelligence. I work where they meet: talking to robots, reconstructing rooms, and running models on the devices we carry.
A few things before that.
At 12, I helped run a café.
At 16, I started Prospecto, a business matching nannies with families. It became profitable.
I also founded the Association for Youth in Mathematics and organised AYM, an international mathematical modelling competition. I presented our work internationally.
At UPenn’s GRASP Lab, I worked with a team on a robot orchestra. Then came a full scholarship to study Robotics and AI at UCL.
At UCL, I’ve served as Vice President of the AI Society, organised AgentVerse, and taught electronics and mechanical systems tutorials.
Building, and bringing people together.
Since then, I’ve led evals and multi-agent research at an AI neolab, worked on enterprise AI products at AWS, built a language-to-prototype system at Cisco, and worked on special projects in education at Anthropic. Now I work in research and special projects at ElevenLabs. The work, in more detail.
Outside of research and technology: specialty coffee, art, photography, hiking and pottery. I read a lot of books and poetry.
