Senior AI Solutions Engineer

I solve difficult business problems with software and AI.

I work directly with founders and decision-makers. We define what needs to change, choose a practical approach, and turn it into a working product.

Selected work

Systems built for real work

The projects below show the kind of problems I handle: unclear requirements, complex data, many integrations, and a product that must work in daily use.

Main case · anonymized

AI-powered procurement platform

The platform collects procurement opportunities, converts difficult documents, finds the important information, and helps users prepare answers. It also tracks AI usage and cost.

My responsibility

  • Turn stakeholder ideas into clear features and user flows
  • Make the main architecture, database, API, and delivery decisions
  • Handle production problems, deployment, and ongoing improvement

Important choices

  • Split services only when one application could no longer handle the work well
  • Add AI checks and cost controls before usage became expensive
  • Compare document tools and route each file through the best option
  • Test complete user journeys in a browser before release

Three other products

Different problems, each delivered for real use.

AI publishing workflow2,000+articles

A publishing process that keeps people in control while AI handles the repetitive work.

  • Create supporting content, publish, schedule, and submit for indexing
Paid data product10M+records

Automotive intelligence

Several large datasets became one fast search and monitoring product for paying users.

  • Search, saved records, filters, change tracking, and alerts
  • Subscriptions, payments, and multi-factor authentication
  • VIN decoding and tools for administrators
Raw data to product15Ksource records

Venue search

A messy venue list became a structured search product with maps, filters, and useful pages.

  • Clean and check records, duplicates, locations, and images
  • Build map search and filters for different user needs
  • Generate 12,000+ venue pages and 9,000+ search pages

How I work

Start with the problem. Finish with a working result.

I do not begin with a favourite technology. I first learn how the business works and what success should look like.

01

Understand

Talk to the people involved and map the real workflow, not only the first request.

02

Decide

Check risks and edge cases, compare options, and remove complexity that brings no value.

03

Build

Turn the agreed plan into software, integrations, data flows, and a usable interface.

04

Verify

Test real user journeys, fix failures, deploy, and keep improving the result.

AI makes the work faster. It does not make the decisions for me.

I am responsible for

The problem, architecture, key decisions, product behaviour, and final result.

AI agents help with

Implementation, tests, debugging, research, and a second review when needed.

Experience

Business experience first. Software for the last 9+ years.

I moved from managing operations into building software. That is why I naturally think about users, cost, risk, and the result—not only the code.

  1. Business and operations

    Managed teams, costs, risk, and profitability in organizations of up to 300 people.

  2. Frontend development

    Started by turning designs into responsive websites.

  3. Full-stack systems

    Built databases, APIs, integrations, search, payments, automation, and complete business tools.

  4. AI solutions

    Use LLMs inside products and AI agents in delivery while keeping ownership of the technical result.

About

I understand the business side too.

Before software, I spent years managing people and operations. Today that helps me challenge a feature before a team spends time building it.

Will people use it? What can fail? Is the extra complexity worth it? What does the business really need?
