Ilya Komakhin is the founder of Human-Powered Engineering, an Agile consultancy that helps product teams turn “textbook Scrum” into real releases.

Over the past 15 + years he has coached and audited delivery organisations at Dell, Boeing, Expedia, Microsoft and Google, guiding them from stalled sprint backlogs to predictable, weekly production drops.

Career highlights

Shipped 50 + commercial projects across SaaS, e-commerce and avionics—$3 M-$50 M budgets.

Built and mentored 20 + Engineering Managers / Scrum Masters who now run high-pace squads in Europe and the US.

Teaching philosophy

“Process serves people, not the other way around.”

Ilya’s courses focus on actionable tactics: short video lessons, live quizzes, and one-page templates you can apply in the next sprint. Every module is tested on real teams before it reaches the camera.

When he isn’t troubleshooting Zombie-Scrum rituals, you’ll find him reverse-engineering board games with his kids or hiking mountain trails to recharge creative flow.
