Profile

In one paragraph

I build AI systems, automation and full-stack software for businesses. I have been programming since 1999 and selling my own software since 2001, starting with Java apps for Nokia phones. Years in audit and SAP systems mean I read a balance sheet as comfortably as a stack trace, and since 2014 the work has been AI and automation full-time: models, data pipelines, LoRA fine-tuning, and the integration work that gets them into production.
