Mikhail Galkov is Co-Founder at Arrakis Technologies, a London-based AI deployment company helping industrial enterprises install AI agents for mission-critical operations across aerospace, energy, logistics, and manufacturing.

Mikhail built deep expertise in machine learning engineering as a Staff ML Engineer at Delivery Hero, where he spent 3.5 years solving complex AI and data challenges at scale, and studied at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Mikhail brings rare hands-on ML engineering depth to Arrakis, specializing in deploying AI into existing operational systems without requiring costly multi-year migrations or full infrastructure overhauls.

Alongside co-founders from Palantir, Revolut, Datadog, and ASML, Mikhail helped build Arrakis from inception in January 2026 to a $38M-funded company in just six months, backed by Blossom Capital, Accel, and angel investors including the CEO of Datadog and OpenAI's Head of Business Products.

Within six months of launch, Arrakis secured NYSE-listed enterprise customers and demonstrated results such as reducing procurement cycle times by 90%, with plans to triple headcount and expand across Europe, the US, and the Middle East.
