The Practitioner Bench · Atlanta · Remote · Worldwide
Practitioners. Not consultants.
The same operators who have been shipping enterprise software for two decades — now compounding
it with AI. Every name on this page has been operating AI inside production engineering for years,
not months.

01 — The Bench
Who's actually on it.
IBOTSystems is a small team by design. Each practitioner has built and shipped enterprise software
across multiple regulated domains — and has been operating AI inside production engineering since
before "AI engineering" had a name.

Gopal Koratana
Founder & Chief Practitioner
Two decades inside the systems Fortune 500s actually run on — Manheim's Dealer Management System,
GE rail electronics, logistics at UPS and John Deere. Founding CTO of Vendormate,
the healthcare GRC platform acquired by GHX in 2014. Co-Founder & CTO of
Cyrano Video, where the AI SDLC Practice ships in production every day with
measurable, compounding results — the same playbook we bring to clients.

We will publish the rest of the practitioner bench here in the coming weeks — held to the same
standard: senior engineers who use AI to compound productivity inside large enterprise
systems, while keeping them scalable, secure, and maintainable as they grow.

02 — The Standard
What it takes to be on this page.
01
Shipped real systems.
Specific platforms, real company names, regulated environments. Not "20 years of experience" —
named systems that ran in production.
02
Operating AI today.
Every practitioner runs PlayerZero, Claude Code, Cowork, and a tailored agent toolchain inside
a live engineering org — not in slide decks.
03
Keeps systems compounding.
Speed alone is easy. The bar is shipping AI-accelerated change that leaves the codebase more
scalable, more secure, and more maintainable than before.
