Lucas Serrano is a London-based engineer and founder with a decade of experience building AI, machine learning, robotics, and full-stack web systems. As Co-Founder and CTO of Volatile AI and Founder in Residence at HAX, he blends hands-on research with product-focused engineering to move prototypes into deployed robotic and sensing solutions. His academic work on insect-inspired olfaction systems at Universitat Pompeu Fabra informed real-time odor classification on autonomous robots, reflecting a rare mix of neuroscience-inspired research and practical systems integration. Earlier freelance work sharpened his expertise in Python ML stacks (Keras/TensorFlow) and Node.js/Angular full-stack development, enabling rapid end-to-end delivery. Comfortable navigating both startup strategy and low-level research, he thrives at the intersection of robotics, perception, and web-enabled products. Colleagues describe him as an operator who turns complex academic ideas into working, market-ready technology.
