Emil Suleymanov
Currently consulting for Kontext.dev, an a16z-backed startup building identity infrastructure for AI agents. Spending the rest of my time testing product ideas and seeing what resonates.
I work on the intersection of distributed systems and AI infrastructure, tackling engineering challenges that have direct practical impact. Previously, I co-founded two AI infrastructure companies: ENFER.AI and BRKD Labs, having served 120B+ tokens to direct customers and OpenRouter, and scaling diffusion models on a self-managed GPU cluster in a colo.
I hold an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Technical University of Munich, where I focused on efficient networking for cloud database systems under the supervision of Prof. Viktor Leis.
I've been contributing to open-source projects since my teens, mostly around systems, networking, and Android internals. Over the years this included minor work on Chromium and uutils/coreutils during my time at TUM, as well as earlier contributions to CJDNS and CyanogenMod (now LineageOS), where I worked on Android networking, Wi-Fi AP management, and low-level system components. Some of this code shipped to users, some of it existed to make things measurable, debuggable, or less fragile.
