My approach

Most people do one or two. I do all three.

I ship AI products, build with agents and teach people how, all at the same time. Each one keeps the others honest.

All three at once. That's where I work.

I ship.

25+ AI products and capabilities led, from first model to market, at Ultralytics, Prequel and Picsart.

So you get advice from someone who has seen what breaks after launch.

I build.

My own product work runs on agents: discovery notes, roadmap updates, reports, specs and tickets.

So what you learn has already been tested on real work.

I teach.

200+ Master's students, and 4 applied-AI programs designed and delivered at TUMO Labs.

So your team keeps the skill after I leave.

And underneath it all: a PhD in Finance and consulting at KPMG. My first question is always whether it's worth building.
