Why we wrote our own microVMM
Our agent sandbox must behave consistently on macOS laptops and Linux servers. Porting Firecracker would require a long-lived fork, so we built a small VMM around an explicit hypervisor interface. This post describes the implementation cost, the components we reused and the work that remains.
Welcoming Alex Touloupis
Alex Touloupis joins NOFire AI to lead the Orchestration & Context team, owning how an agent gets the information it needs and how its actions get sequenced. He arrives after two decades that ran from telco integration at Ericsson through the Orchestration & Action product line at Celonis to Lead Technical Designer at Cegeka.
Welcoming Sergios Aftsidis
Sergios Aftsidis joins NOFire AI as a Founding Member of Technical Staff on the Core Infrastructure team, owning the foundations from high-level architecture through to production readiness. He comes from Hotjar, where he was a Staff Software Engineer, after eleven years that included two spent running an engineering team and then deciding to go back to building.
AI SRE Benchmark: observe-only diagnosis on SREGym
On SREGym-lite, with no kubectl during diagnosis, NOFire diagnosed 17 of 20 faults. Fifteen of those wins came from the production map or a recorded change. Three misses map to a known boundary.
Welcoming Stelios Charmpalis
Stelios Charmpalis joins NOFire AI as a Founding Member of Technical Staff on the Orchestration & Context team, owning the product surface and the harder problem behind it: what it feels like to hand real authority to a system that acts on its own. He comes from Hotjar, after seventeen years spent almost entirely on how software feels to use.
Welcoming Maria Rafaela Gkeka
Maria Rafaela Gkeka joins NOFire AI as a Member of Technical Staff on the Runtime & Controls team, working on the Profiler: deriving the policy that governs an agent from what the agent actually did, rather than from a rulebook maintained by hand. She is a systems researcher finishing a PhD at the University of Thessaly, and joins from Nubificus.
Welcoming Maria Gkoutha
Maria Gkoutha joins NOFire AI as a Member of Technical Staff on the Runtime & Controls team, working on the layer that checks every agent action at runtime and blocks anything that would breach a guardrail. She joins from Nubificus, where she spent nearly four years on runtime performance and hardware acceleration.
