If FoxSec had a heartbeat, it would beat in sync with Illimar’s.
His name might not be familiar to every client, but in FoxSec’s daily operations, there is hardly a corner where his contribution isn’t felt.
Illimar is more than an engineer – no title quite captures what he does. He is technical support, system architect, integrator of software and hardware, trainer, advisor, and problem solver. His work doesn’t start at nine or end at five – he shows up wherever he’s needed, often even on weekends. Every day brings dozens of calls, messages, questions, and situations that need a solution. And Illimar finds them.
“I like being able to do my thing,” says Illimar. “Even if things aren’t exactly how I’d like them to be, it gives me the freedom and opportunity to actually get something done.”
FoxSec’s roots go back to Illimar’s earlier experience – a personal development project that grew into something much larger. The beginning was tough: few clients, scarce resources, and many sleepless nights. But something was done right – and FoxSec’s technical platform still carries that DNA. It was necessary to achieve a lot with very little – and that forged the strength that allows FoxSec to compete with the best in the world today.
Illimar has a background in electronics and a vast amount of hands-on experience. What matters to him is that the work is honest, carefully considered, and done with heart. “Good enough” has never been his standard – he builds solutions that last, perform under pressure, and are worth presenting with pride. He doesn’t seek the spotlight, but he is trusted – because people know they can rely on him.
Colleagues know him as someone who always thinks one step ahead. He notices details and connects the bigger picture with practical insight. For him, technology is not a goal in itself – it must make life easier, systems more reliable, and collaboration smoother.
Today, Illimar is already thinking about the next step: how to pass on his knowledge so that FoxSec can continue to grow even when his role becomes smaller in the future. That wish doesn’t come from comfort, but from care – from a desire to leave something that lasts.
“I want FoxSec to continue just as reliably even when I’m no longer actively involved. I want to leave behind something my children can be proud of. And I want to do it honestly – I always start with myself. If something isn’t working, I first ask what I can do better.”
Illimar’s story is more than the story of one person. It’s an example of how people shape the heart of a company. His dedication, wisdom, and quiet work form a foundation that FoxSec can stand on with confidence.
