Real AI solutions instead of hype: Scalable infrastructures for your team
Smart automations, the use of artificial intelligence, and autonomous AI agents only deliver reliable results in practice if the foundation is right – clear processes, clean data structures, and a team that is on board. As an AI Business Engineer, I build exactly this bridge: I implement AI workflows for your team and ensure that processes and data structures are ready for them (AI Readiness).
Way of working & Strengths
- Entrepreneurial thinking: I operate confidently and intuitively between processes, automation, AI, and people (Change Management). I treat your company as if it were my own.
- Tech DNA & Interface Understanding: Computer science degree as a basis for a deep understanding of APIs and data architectures. AI models are seamlessly integrated into existing tool landscapes.
- X-ray vision for processes: Complex situations are understood in record time and transformed into viable structures — a prerequisite for any productive AI deployment.
- Software scouting as a core competence: Tool selection based on your specific bottleneck — not based on hype or partner commissions.
- Skin in the game: My own companies are fully automated and supported by AI employees — I know from practical experience what works.
5-Phase System for Sustainable AI Integration
Holistic systematization instead of isolated tools:
- Identification — Use Case Mapping & AI Readiness Check
- Structuring — Re-design of core processes for optimal AI deployment
- Digitization — Operational backbone (e.g., ClickUp or Monday.com)
- Automation — Productive workflows with Make, n8n, Custom APIs.
- AI Employees — Autonomous AI agents and RAG systems in real business processes
