What the Work Covers

The scope is set by your business stage and goals.

AI Strategy & Roadmap

A review of your business processes: where AI will have the most effect and in what order to introduce it. The result is a phased roadmap.

Custom AI/ML Solutions

AI systems built for your use case: NLP pipelines, computer vision, recommendation engines, predictive analytics.

Data Infrastructure

The data AI runs on: pipelines, warehousing, feature stores and real-time processing.

AI Integration

AI inside the products and workflows you already have: CRM, ERP, customer-facing applications and internal tools.

LLM & GenAI Implementation

LLM applications built for production: RAG architectures, fine-tuning, prompt engineering and multi-agent systems.

AI Operations & Scaling

MLOps, monitoring, A/B testing and regular improvements, so your AI systems keep working reliably under real load.

How an Engagement Runs

1

Discovery Call

30 minutes on your business, your current tech stack and what you want AI to do. No commitment.

2

AI Audit & Opportunity Mapping

A close look at your operations to find where AI pays back best. Deliverable: a prioritized roadmap with effort and impact estimated for each item.

3

Architecture & Proof of Concept

I design the technical architecture and build a working proof of concept to test the approach before the main investment.

4

Production Deployment & Optimization

Full implementation, integration testing, team training and ongoing optimization against measurable results.

AI consulting services, end to end

AI strategy consulting

Where AI pays off in your business and in what order. We map processes, data and costs, rank the opportunities by return and effort, and turn the top of that list into a phased roadmap with budgets and owners — so the first project is chosen on evidence, not on what was in the news.

AI implementation services

Taking a use case from a proof of concept to a system your team runs: architecture, model and vendor choice, integration with your CRM, ERP and internal tools, evaluation, monitoring and handover. The same approach behind the case studies below — voice dispatch, outreach, event operations and market intelligence running in production.

AI advisory services

An ongoing senior voice for founders, CTOs and boards: reviewing architecture and vendor proposals, pressure-testing build-versus-buy decisions, and keeping an AI programme tied to business results after the first launch.

AI consulting for startups and enterprises

Startups get lean implementations that ship in weeks and do not lock them into a stack they will outgrow. Enterprises get integration with existing systems, security and data controls, and enablement for the internal team that will own the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries do you work with?+

Fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, real estate, and professional services. The industry matters less than the problem: a business with a process AI can measurably improve.

How long does a typical AI consulting engagement last?+

Anywhere from a single AI Architecture Session (2–3 hours) to a project of several months. Most clients start with a discovery call and an AI audit (1–2 weeks), then move to implementation.

Do you work with startups or only enterprises?+

Both. I've founded two AI companies myself, so I know startup constraints first-hand. For startups, that means lean implementations that pay off early. For enterprises, it means complex integrations and training the team.

What's the typical ROI of AI consulting?+

Clients typically see 3–10x ROI within the first year, from automation savings, revenue gains, and leaner operations. I start with the use cases that pay back the investment fastest.

Can you work with our existing development team?+

Yes. I often work alongside internal teams: architecture guidance, code reviews, and hands-on mentoring so the team gets productive with AI faster.
