Hands-on AI product engineering · Berlin

Find the right AI opportunity or turn a validated idea into working software.

I help SMEs identify valuable AI opportunities and help startups turn validated ideas or prototypes into reliable software.

Qualified SMEs can start with a free AI Opportunity Snapshot. Startups with a validated idea or prototype can begin with paid technical scoping and product development.

Where useful AI opportunities are often hidden.

I focus on business problems where better workflows, automation, or AI can create measurable value.

Repetitive manual work

Reduce time spent collecting, classifying, validating, routing, and reporting information.

Knowledge that is hard to use

Make information across documents and systems easier for employees or customers to access.

AI ideas without a clear path

Identify which opportunity is feasible, valuable, measurable, and worth implementing first.

Two focused paths from problem to production.

Choose the starting point that matches what your company already knows and is ready to implement.

Free for qualified SMEs

AI Opportunity Snapshot

We examine one important workflow through two focused conversations and limited, non-sensitive examples.

You receiveA one-page opportunity brief within five business days after the second conversation, covering feasibility, required data, main risks, a success metric, and the practical next step.
A good fitOne recurring workflow, a process owner available for two conversations, and serious interest in implementation if the opportunity is validated.
For startups and product teams

AI and software product development

Turn a validated idea or prototype into reliable software that fits your users, product, and operating environment.

You receivePaid technical scoping, architecture, AI or LLM integration, backend APIs, data workflows, cloud deployment, monitoring, documentation, and handover.
A good fitA defined user and business problem, an involved founder or product owner, a realistic budget, and access to the necessary data or systems.

One delivery process, with the right starting point.

SMEs can begin with opportunity discovery. Startups with a validated idea or prototype can begin with paid technical scoping or implementation.

STEP 01

Fit call

Confirm the problem, users, owner, available evidence or data, and implementation intent.

STEP 02

Discover or scope

Use the free SME Snapshot or paid startup technical scoping to define the right solution.

STEP 03

Actionable plan

Receive feasibility, architecture, data needs, risks, success metrics, milestones, and the recommended next step.

STEP 04

Build if approved

Develop, integrate, test, deploy, document, and hand over the solution through an agreed paid engagement.

Two clear entry points: the free Snapshot is for qualified SMEs exploring one workflow. Startup product development is a paid engagement for validated ideas or prototypes.
