About Me

I help companies turn an AI idea into a working prototype in days and take it to production in weeks. Not with a consultant who leaves after the slide deck, but with someone who writes the code, trains the model, and sees the deployment through.

What I bring to the table: over 15 years of software engineering, more than 10 years of data science and machine learning, and 7 years of project experience in client companies from energy supply, IoT, and industrial data analysis. In that time, I've learned what really makes projects fail: not the algorithm, but the process underneath it.

What sets me apart from conventional AI consulting: I'm vendor-neutral, no partner commissions, no technology preference driven by self-interest. I show up myself, not a junior. And I transfer the knowledge to your team, so what follows my engagement is independence, not dependency.

My guiding principle for AI: clean process first, then automation. If you automate chaos, you get faster chaos. If you're a CTO or Head of Product and want to know whether a project is viable and how to get it into production, give me a call.

How I Work

Pragmatism over Perfection

I focus on solutions that work in the real world, not just in theory. Shipping beats planning.

Clarity in Communication

Technical concepts explained simply. No jargon when plain language works.

Long-term Thinking

Quick wins are good, but I design for sustainability and maintainability.

Honest Assessment

If something won't work, I'll tell you. If AI isn't the answer, I'll say so.
