# About the Author

Eli Ace is the pen name of Ilya V. Aseyev, the founder of Vermarco (Vertical Marketplace LLC), the agent-commerce port this book describes, and of the companies that grew up around it into the Vermarco ecosystem: AI Ace Team, the human operating layer; LLM-to-LLM, the open coordination rail; and Swarmonic, cross-manufacturer robot fleet execution. He is the inventor of record on their pending U.S. filings. He writes for the fleet that will actually show up, and for the super intelligence behind it.
He publishes as Eli Ace at eliace.ai. Ilya V. Aseyev is the name on the patent filings and on the copyright page of this book, so that the record reads as one line: same person, same kitchen table.
Write to him. If the site and this book ever disagree, believe neither, and say so.
