Services

Three fixed-scope engagements. Each has a clear start, a clear end and a concrete result.

AI feasibility check

1 week€2,950 fixed

Not sure whether your use case can really be solved with AI? Many AI projects don’t fail on the technology but on the data, or on a use case that turned out not to need a model at all. You want to know that before you invest heavily, not after.

In five days I assess your use case, your data and your infrastructure. I look at what’s there, where the gaps are and what’s realistically achievable with the resources you have.

What you get

  • An honest go/no-go recommendation, backed by your own data
  • A concrete technical approach: which models, which stack, which steps
  • An estimate of cost and lead time for the next phase
  • One decision document, not a report full of fluff

For: Organisations that want to "do something with AI" but first want certainty about feasibility.

From notebook to production

2 to 4 weeksfrom €7,500

Your team has a working model. It performs well in the notebook, the results look good, everyone is enthusiastic. And then it sits there for months, because nobody has time to turn it into a real service.

That’s exactly the work I did in recent years for one of the world’s largest scientific publishers. I take over your team’s model and turn it into a service that runs in production, and keeps running.

What you get

  • Your model as a production service, on GCP and Kubernetes or on your own stack
  • Full CI/CD, so updates go live safely and without manual work
  • Monitoring, so you notice problems before your users do
  • Documentation and a handover so your team can run it themselves

For: Teams with a proven model that isn't making the jump to production.

ML proof of concept in a month

4 weeksfrom €12,500

One well-defined use case, your own data, four weeks. Not a slide deck about what might be possible, but a working prototype that shows it.

Think of a classifier, semantic search over your documents, a recommender or automated document processing. I build it on your data, measure how well it works and tell you honestly whether building further is worth the investment. If it isn’t, you’ll know that too. That’s worth something as well.

What you get

  • A working prototype on your own data, not a demo on sample datasets
  • Measurable results, so you know where you stand
  • Advice on the step to production, including costs and risks
  • All code, documented and ready to hand over

For: Organisations with a concrete AI idea that want to know within a month whether it works.

Teaching and talks

For developer teams, students and anyone curious about the technology in the news.

AI architecture for developers

3-hour workshop or six weekly sessionsPricing on request

A course or workshop for students and developer teams on how system design makes AI-driven development effective: writing clearer prompts, spotting structural problems while the AI writes the boilerplate, and reviewing generated code at the level of the system.

Available as a single 3-hour workshop or a series of six weekly sessions.

Topics

  1. From notebook to production
  2. Designing services and APIs
  3. Data pipelines
  4. Containers and CI/CD
  5. Monitoring and ML in production
  6. An architecture review of your own project

Tech talks for everyone

Talks and lessonsPricing on request

Talks and lessons about the technology in the news, such as AI, social media, the internet, online shopping, online gaming and online scams. In plain language, with attention to the risks. For schools, parent evenings, community centres and libraries.
