For editors / hosts / organisers

Press & Media.

I develop software and build businesses. For interviews and professional discussions, I bring a practical perspective on AI, software and entrepreneurship, grounded in projects, decisions and open questions.

Three discussion starters with materials

Each starting point connects a concrete question with writing and my work. The selection can be adapted to the medium, audience and occasion.

01 / AI in practice

What did the agent actually do?

A fluent answer does not establish that a task was completed correctly. A conversation about handover: what evidence does a person need before using an AI agent’s result?

For specialist interviews, podcasts and articles about practical AI use in teams.

  • How can a broad expectation become a testable task?
  • What do missing or conflicting documents reveal about agent behaviour?
  • Which decisions still require human approval?

02 / Software & Operations

A school meal as a software problem.

Ordering, deadlines, changes and billing: school meals reveal how much domain work sits inside a seemingly simple application. The starting point is the daily life of those involved.

For regional media, educational formats and discussions about digitising public and business workflows.

  • Which roles and exceptions must a product handle day to day?
  • What changes between prototype, rollout and regular operation?
  • Who notices errors, answers questions and is responsible for the data?

03 / Entrepreneurship & Partnerships

What a small team can take on together.

Product development, client work and publishing meet directly in a small company. I explore how this leads to clear offers, bounded first steps and understandable responsibilities.

For entrepreneurship features, business podcasts and discussions connecting technology, industry expertise and media.

  • How does a partnership find a first result both sides can assess?
  • Which contributions and expectations should be stated before starting?
  • How are your own business interests made visible in publications?
