LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 7, 2025--
TurinTech, a leader in Evolutionary agentic code platforms, today announced that Michael Parker has joined as its Vice President of Engineering. A veteran in developer tooling and platform engineering, Parker brings decades of experience building scalable systems and leading global teams—including at Docker, where he helped modernize the company’s cloud platform and developer experience.

Parker joins TurinTech as it prepares to launch Artemis more broadly, bringing agentic AI into the heart of the developer experience—from planning to production. Built around an outcome-first approach, Artemis helps teams guide and validate AI contributions, align work to their goals, and improve code with confidence. It’s a platform designed not just for faster development—but for trusted, measurable results.
Mike Basios, Chief Technology Officer at TurinTech, commented: “We’re building Artemis to help teams get the most out of AI—whether that’s LLMs, agents, or both. It’s not about generating more code—it’s about delivering measurably improved outcomes.”
At Docker, Parker played a key role in the company’s shift from infrastructure to developer-first tooling. He led platform modernization, scaled distributed teams, and oversaw the user experience behind Docker Hub. At TurinTech, he will oversee engineering delivery across Artemis cloud and on-prem deployments, ensuring developers can work seamlessly with AI agents, planning workflows, and outcome-based review tools.
“Agentic development is a powerful shift, but it needs structure to succeed,” said Michael Parker, VP of Engineering. “With Artemis, we’re building the planning and workflow intelligence that lets AI agents work more like real teammates. Developers stay in control, but get meaningful support—from scoping to implementation to validation. It’s about tackling the real-world friction in today’s GenAI tools and making AI genuinely useful in everyday engineering.”
Leslie Kanthan, CEO and Co-founder of TurinTech, added: “Demand for Artemis continues to grow since our limited launch earlier this year. Global enterprises like Intel and Taylor Wessing are already engaging, and we’re seeing strong developer interest in our AI-driven engineering platform. With Michael onboard, we’re excited to accelerate availability and bring the power of Artemis to more teams, faster.”

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine's capital overnight into Thursday that killed at least 13 people and injured scores as loud explosions shook Kyiv for hours.
The attack with ballistic and cruise missiles and drones damaged buildings and civilian infrastructure across the city. Many residents took shelter at metro stations after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other authorities issued the first warnings of the attack.
The attack killed 13 people in Kyiv and injured 86 more, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Damage was recorded in 30 locations across the city, mainly residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, said Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said 20 residential buildings were damaged across the city. The Emergency Service says it deployed nearly 500 personnel and 100 units of specialized vehicles, including a helicopter, to deal with the aftermath of the attack.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called on Ukraine’s allies to strengthen the country’s air defenses following what he described as a “night of horror” in Kyiv, urging partners not to delay decisions on supplying air defense systems and missiles. Writing on X, Sybiha said the death toll after the attack may rise as the rescue teams continued their work.
Russia has intensified its attacks on Kyiv in recent weeks, even as Ukraine’s own long-range drone campaign against Russian military sites and energy facilities has caused fuel shortages and disrupted supply lines inside Russia.
Sybiha rejected any attempts to justify Russian strikes as retaliation for Ukraine’s long-range attacks, saying Ukraine was exercising its right to self-defense under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter while Russia remained the aggressor.
Klitschko urged residents of the capital to remain in shelters due to the ongoing “furious enemy attack."
He said a paramedic in extremely critical condition was among the injured in the Shevchenkivskyi district. Ukraine's Emergency Service says a hotel and two five-story residential buildings were damaged in the area.
In the Desnianskyi district, people were trapped inside a damaged nine-story residential building and rescuers headed to the scene, Klitschko said.
In the Holosiivskyi district, a fire broke out on the roof of a 16-story building, according to the Emergency Service.
In the Sviatoshynskyi district, fire broke out in two private residencies, the Emergency Service said. Debris trapped people in one of them, according to the mayor. In the Darnytskyi district, six levels of a nine-story building collapsed after a Russian strike and another five-story residential building was damaged, Klitschko said. The Emergency Service said a 16-story building and private residencies were damaged in the area.
Tkachenko said the attack partially destroyed a residential building in the Desnianskyi district, sparked fires near residential buildings at two locations in the Pecherskyi district, and ignited a fire near an administrative building in the Solomianskyi district. He said authorities were also recording damage in the Obolonskyi and Podilskyi districts. The head of the Kyiv Regional Administration, Mykola Kalashnyk, said damage occurred in five regional districts. Three people sustained injuries in Bucha district, he said.
