Che ShivaFounder & CTO,
ÍL·LUKI.
I’m Che Shiva. I build ÍL·LUKI — a membership platform where humans and AI agents work together. Before this I spent 14 years directing enterprise technology, teams, vendors, and budgets at AXS / AEG, on top of 30+ years hands-on across infrastructure, cloud, AI, and on-chain systems. Enterprise discipline, founder speed.

02 / Story
Reliability shaped the operator. Curiosity kept the builder alive.
For three decades, I’ve worked where technology has to perform in the real world. My path began in hardware engineering at Compaq, matured inside regulated enterprise operations at Takeda, and continued in technology leadership at AXS / AEG.
Along the way, I never stopped building: cloud-native architectures, multi-agent AI platforms, and production smart contracts. The thread through all of it is simple — understand the system, stay calm under pressure, translate complexity, and make the next version better.
