Head of Digital Media

About VEL Civilization is shifting. AI is no longer confined to the browser. Work is decentralizing. Cities are restructuring. Corporate real estate is contracting. VEL is building Physical AI infrastructure — intelligent, distributed environments embedded into airports, commercial buildings, and urban nodes. VEGA is what people experience. IRIS is the intelligence layer that governs it. We are not building consumer apps. We are building embodied AI systems operating in real-world environments. Perception matters. Narrative matters.
