My work has spanned developing climate analytics solutions and financial restructuring strategies, providing me with a unique perspective on integrating AI into complex business environments. As an MBA graduate from the University of Oxford, I combine academic rigor with practical insights to help clients navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and automation. Whether you're looking to optimise processes or innovate with AI, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and explore how we can achieve your goals together!

Welcome to my profile! As an AI Automation Expert and AI Research and Development Specialist, I have a wealth of experience in helping tech teams enhance productivity through innovative AI solutions. With a background in developing AI-based products and integrating automation into existing workflows, I've successfully coached over 100 individuals to leverage AI tools for maximum efficiency. My expertise spans from creating technical content and conducting workshops to guiding companies in adopting AI technologies seamlessly. If you're looking to optimize your processes and harness the power of AI, let's connect and explore how I can assist you in achieving your goals!

I have worked as a product manager and solutions engineer at 2 YC-backed AI companies, where I led the design and implementation of bespoke automation systems for companies in diverse industries. I got to see firsthand what happens when you take an intelligent workflow and drop it into a company's operations: teams reorganize around higher-value work, costs drop, and leaders get time back to focus on growth instead of putting out fires. I have also started my own AI Automation company, Optimal AI. I work with companies to map out their standard operating procedures, understand the true cost of their most important business outcomes, and identify which of those outcomes can be reached materially improved with AI and automation. I also help teams and individuals actually use AI well — not just install tools, but build what I call a "context operating system": structured AI workspaces with the right connectors, skills, and business context wired in so that every employee has an AI partner that genuinely understands their role and their company. This isn't prompt engineering tips. It's systems design for the age of AI assistants.

No theory. No outdated playbooks. Just battle-tested systems running in real enterprise environments today. Official Clay Creator, n8n Ambassador and Expert Partner, v0 Ambassador, and Mastra Agent Ambassador with 16+ years of enterprise IT experience across organizations including Deutsche Telekom, Accenture, Deutsche Bahn, BMW, HDI, and KfW. The Expert Partner status on n8n is held by fewer than a handful of practitioners globally. What gets built here are complete systems: outbound engines, AI pipelines, and automation that eliminates manual work at scale, backed by $5.5M in verified client savings. Full stack coverage across Clay, n8n, v0, Mastra, and Claude AI means clients always work with what is relevant right now. Frankfurt Clay Club host. W-JAX speaker.

I build AI systems for small businesses and operators who are drowning in manual work. My clients aren't experimenting with AI. They're using it to run their businesses: automating accounts payable, triaging inboxes, generating daily reports, and replacing hours of repetitive tasks with tools that run themselves. Background: McKinsey-trained, built and sold software products, currently running AI consulting engagements for real estate, property managers, grocery delivery, construction, dental, and professional services companies. I've built agentic workflows, custom automation pipelines, and AI-powered internal tools that real teams use every day. Whether you're building for a team or streamlining your own work, I'll help you design and ship something that actually runs in your day-to-day.

As an ex- AI Product Leader at RBC I helped create several internal AI Agents to transform the developer experience. Currently as part of my AI Agency and startup, I help companies and individuals create agents and simple automations that transform their workflows

I actively integrate AI into day-to-day product management workflows and coach others on how to use it responsibly and effectively across the full product lifecycle. My focus is not just on the tools themselves, but on how AI changes operating cadence, decision-making, and execution quality for product teams. I regularly use AI to synthesize large qualitative and quantitative inputs — including stakeholder feedback, customer research, meeting notes, support tickets, and performance data — into actionable product insights and prioritized decisions. I also use it to accelerate product documentation (PRDs, acceptance criteria, roadmaps), structure experimentation plans, and pressure-test product thinking before development begins. Beyond documentation, I apply AI to: - market and competitive analysis - hypothesis generation and validation planning - feature scoping and edge-case identification - UX and copy iteration - prototyping and concept evaluation - preparing executive-level communication and product narratives I also coach professionals on when not to use AI, how to verify outputs, and how to combine domain expertise with AI assistance rather than replacing judgment. A core part of my coaching is teaching PMs how to move from task execution to higher-leverage thinking by offloading mechanical work (summaries, organization, first-draft analysis) while retaining ownership of strategy, prioritization, and decision accountability. My goal is to help product managers become AI-augmented operators — faster, clearer, and more strategic — rather than simply faster at producing documents.

I use AI automations and agents in real operating environments, not just as demos. As a founder, I’ve built and used agent-style workflows to support parts of my businesses, including research, analysis, internal tooling, and process automation. I’ve also helped startups and small businesses build ETL jobs, custom tools, and AI-enabled workflows, so I understand how to connect LLMs to actual business processes in a way that is useful, reliable, and worth the effort. My background sits at the intersection of product, data, and technical execution. I’ve worked on cloud-based architecture, data pipelines, NLP, LLM API-driven analysis, and custom workflow design, and I know how to translate messy business needs into practical automations. I can help clients think through where agents actually create value, how to design and scope them properly, what should stay human-in-the-loop, and how to build systems that are more than just prompt wrappers. Whether you’re trying to automate work inside a business, build your first agent-driven workflow, or get smarter about the AI automation landscape, I can help.

Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in AI and digital transformation, I specialize in helping clients leverage AI tools to enhance productivity and streamline processes. At KPMG, I lead AI go-to-market strategies and develop AI products, while at CIBC, I designed and deployed AI solutions that transformed business operations across multiple units. My background in consulting and strategic advisory, combined with hands-on experience in AI implementation, equips me to guide you in harnessing AI for your business needs. I've successfully coached 5 individuals in optimizing their workflows with AI, and I'm eager to help you achieve similar results. Let's connect to explore how AI can revolutionize your productivity!

I'm a first adopter of AI tools. I'm an investor and a startup founder with exclusive access to some of the earliest builders in the space. And I have a really bad sleeping habit and addiction to Twitter. All of that means that when you have a conversation with me about AI, I guarantee that we will bring you to an understanding at a foundational level about whatever you're trying to achieve and bring you to an advanced mastery that will last moving forward. Whether you want to... get better use out of chat applications, understand how to use agent tooling like Claude Code or Codex CLI, build your own agents with a framework like Mastra, understand whether a product like OpenClaw is just hype... or if you want to dig into your specific workflows, either in your personal life or for professional productivity, we can cover it all. Whenever I coach or teach about AI, I talk about all of our strategies and tactics being both portable and durable. Portable in that they don't require being tied down to any given tool but work as the tools change, and durable in that they're strategies and understanding that will last as models update and products evolve.
