Hiring an AI developer

You want AI in your product or process, and you are looking for someone to build it. Perfectly sensible. One note before you hire anyone.

With AI, building is rarely the problem

A developer builds what you specify. That works well when you know what you want and why it creates value. With AI that is exactly the hard question: most failed AI projects do not fail on the technology, but on an idea nobody turned out to use.

Hire a developer when: the specification is set, the problem is proven, and you mainly need capacity.

Hire me when: you know something needs to happen with AI, but not yet exactly what — and you want it built afterwards too.

How it works

First understand what is going on

I join for a few days, talk to the floor and to management, and look for where AI actually delivers instead of where it merely sounds good.

Then build, not advise

I build the most promising ideas into something that runs on your data, in your processes. No report, no slides.

And a clear decision

Every proof of concept ends in keep building, adjust, or stop. You decide based on something that works.

Why my hourly rate is higher

I charge € 150 per hour, more than a developer. The difference is in what you do not build: the idea that looked good but nobody uses. One avoided three-month project pays that difference back many times over.
