Twenty years building and shipping complex technical systems. Now applied to yours.
What I bring
I'm Igor Raffaele. I was born in Napoli, raised across six countries, and am now based in the United States. That background is not decorative. I have worked inside European, North American, and emerging-market organisations, and I understand how differently they make decisions, absorb risk, and execute.
What I've built
I started in video games, first in publishing and advertising, then by founding and leading InterWave Studios through the development and release of the award-winning Nuclear Dawn: a three-year project that grew from a 12-person core team to roughly 200 contributors, on a €400K budget that generated €1M in revenue.
As COO of Dephion Technologies, I led a 120-person organisation building a health and wellbeing platform deployed across the Zuyderland hospital network in the Netherlands. Two proprietary systems, HABTIC and DELPHIC, emerged from that work and are now in their next commercial phase.
More recently, I designed and built VirgilLM, an enterprise knowledge verification platform written in Rust and deployed with legal-sector clients, replacing expensive incumbent AI tooling at a fraction of the cost.
What I do now
Mundane Consulting exists because I kept seeing the same failure pattern: capable companies making serious AI investments that underperform, not because the technology is wrong, but because operational experience is missing from the decisions shaping the system.
I work at the intersection of architecture, delivery, and judgment: AI strategy, production AI systems, and ongoing technical leadership for companies building AI products. The details are on the Services page.
