I help mid-sized companies move AI from idea to production — as a consultant who ships and operates AI products himself.
You bought licenses but no one on the team uses them productively. The promised productivity gain is not measurable.
You know AI matters, but not where to start — and which use cases will actually move revenue or cost.
Standard tools don't cover your process. You need something that fits your business — without spinning up an in-house AI department.
You want someone who doesn't just draw concepts but writes code, deploys, monitors — and knows what breaks in production.
We figure out, no strings attached, whether and where I can help. If I can't, I'll say so — and possibly point you to someone who can.
We start with a small, well-scoped use case that delivers measurable results fast — and gives the team confidence.
After a successful pilot, we expand the solution, roll it out across the company, and I support the operation.
I don't just talk about AI — I build and operate it. These two platforms are my own products, followed by anonymized consulting projects.

A platform for software teams that runs AI agents in production — under control.
I don't only talk engineering. These three stations are publicly verifiable — co-authorship, open-source code, acquired products.

Co-founder of Pelagicore (Lead UI Architect of the Mercedes-Benz MBUX platform, acquired by Luxoft) and ApiGear (acquired by Epic Games), most recently Senior Engineer at Epic Games on a platform for agentic AI chat. Now independent — building Valiro and Tavora as own AI products.
The mix of building and advising is intentional: I don't just talk about LLMs — I maintain code daily that runs models, vector databases, and evals in production. What breaks for me, breaks for my clients. What I recommend, I've broken first.
My standard: honest advice. If your problem is better solved without AI, I'll say so. If an existing tool is enough, I'll point to it. My business model is your success — not selling my own products.

The strategy workshop starts at €2,500. Implementation projects are quoted as fixed-price or time-and-materials, depending on scope. The monthly retainer starts at €1,900. You'll get a rough indication once we get to know each other.
A pilot is usually live within 4–8 weeks. The subsequent scale-up runs over several months. Strategy workshops take 1–2 days.
I'm not a sales team with junior developers behind it. You work directly with me, I write code myself, and I know production reality — because I run my own AI products.
No. I only recommend my products when they actually fit your use case. In most consulting projects we build tailored solutions, or I recommend existing tools — including from competitors.
Yes, from around 20 employees. What matters is not size but having an internal owner who takes responsibility and can decide quickly.
GDPR-compliant architecture is non-negotiable. We work with EU-hosted models, on-premise options, or vetted providers — and document the legal basis from day one.
Free. No strings. I listen, ask questions, and tell you honestly whether and how I can help.
