Artemis Leonardou is joining NOFire AI in two roles at once: Software Engineering on the Orchestration and Context team, and Developer Relations. She builds on the layer that makes bounded autonomous action coordinable, and she makes that work understandable to the people who will rely on it.
Context
The hardest part of building foundational infrastructure is not the engineering. It is that the people who need it never hear about it in language they understand. A boundary strong enough to contain a rogue agent only matters if engineers know it exists and trust why it holds. urunc and the microVM sandbox are real, the control layer that evaluates and permits an action is real, but a new category does not sell itself. Someone has to orchestrate how those pieces fit together, and someone has to explain it to a world that has not caught up yet.
Artemis does both. On the Orchestration and Context team she works on the layer that decides what context an agent gets and how its actions are coordinated, the connective tissue between the control layer and the execution environment in the Context and Control Model. In Developer Relations she takes that work and makes it land with the engineers who will build on top of it. Building and translating are usually two jobs. Here they are one, and that is deliberate.
Background
Artemis spent a year and a half at Kanoparty, the best platform for parents to organise their kids' parties in Greece, shipping in production under real pressure and learning what it takes to move fast without breaking the things that matter. Alongside that, she built a body of technical content that has crossed 2 million views, the discipline of taking something genuinely complex and making it clear to people who do not already have the context. She has won three hackathons, and last year she was one of the youngest people in the room at Y Combinator's AI Startup School.
The thread through all of it is velocity paired with clarity: build the thing, then make sure the right people understand why it matters.
More about Artemis
How did you get into building?
I have always been impatient with the gap between an idea and a working version of it. Hackathons taught me to compress that gap to a weekend, and content taught me that building something is only half the work: if nobody understands it, it may as well not exist. I kept chasing both halves until they became one job.
Why NOFire AI?
Agents are getting real autonomy in production faster than anyone is ready for, and most of the conversation is about prompts and policy. NOFire AI is solving it where it actually has to be solved, in the execution environment and the layer that orchestrates context and action around it. That is a genuinely new category, and new categories need people who can build the thing and explain it at the same time. That is exactly the work I want to be doing.
What will you be working on here?
Two things. On the engineering side, the orchestration and context layer: what an agent is allowed to know and how its actions get coordinated against the control layer. On the DevRel side, making all of that legible, the writing, the demos, and the developer experience that let engineers actually adopt it.
Tools you rely on?
Claude Code for long-lived sessions that never lose context, a terminal that never closes, and whatever lets me ship a working prototype before I talk myself out of it.
Outside of work?
I enjoy sleeping and travelling.
Artemis is based in Greece. You can follow her work on LinkedIn.
